A contributing property in the Old Town Center Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Clustered around the site of the town's third meetinghouse, this district is the most concentrated group of historic buildings in Eastham, encompassing the civic, commercial, and residential core where residents built the first Town Hall (1850) and a district school (1869) and kept early post offices, shops, and lodgings for summer visitors. Its buildings, drawn from the regional vernacular and dating from the mid-18th century onward, reflect the agriculture, maritime activity, local government, and tourism that shaped the town from its 1640s settlement. Recognized under National Register criteria A and C, the district has a period of significance extending from about 1765 to 1950.
