The Bivalve Oyster Packing Houses and Docks are located along Shell Road in the Bivalve section of Commercial Township in Cumberland County, New Jersey. They were added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 28, 1996, for their significance in commerce and maritime history during the years 1870–1945. The listing includes five contributing buildings.[3] The buildings were listed as part of the Marine and Architectural Resources of the Maurice River Cove Multiple Property Documentation Form (MPDF).[4] The Bayshore Center, an educational museum, is located adjacent to the property at 2800 High Street.[5]
