The Story

A contributing property in the Falmouth Village Green Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. Centered on a village green that grew out of colonial common land, this district preserves a well-preserved assemblage of late-18th- and 19th-century residences and institutional buildings at the historic heart of Falmouth. Its wood-frame buildings trace the evolution of a small, isolated colonial seafaring town on the southwest coast of Cape Cod, whose people were involved in the historic events of their day. The district is significant for its maritime associations, including long ties to Charleston, participation in the Revolution and the War of 1812, and the whaling and live-oaking industries, as well as for the green itself.
