MassachusettsA contributing property in the Cotuit Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. The westernmost of Barnstable's villages, occupying a neck of land surrounded by water, this district is a large, cohesive, and well-preserved collection of 19th- and early 20th-century buildings tied to both maritime industry and the summer resort era. Settled in the early 18th century, the village center shifted toward the coast as shipbuilding, saltmaking, and shipping took hold, and it later drew established Boston families as a quiet summer retreat. Its roughly 125 mostly wood-frame residences range from Federal and Greek Revival houses of its seafaring days to Italianate, Second Empire, Gothic Revival, Queen Anne, and Colonial Revival examples of its resort period.
