Weeks, Barzillai House

The Barzillai Weeks House, built in 1799 on the southwest side of Scorton Hill in West Barnstable, is a well-preserved full five-bay, one-and-a-half-story Federal-period Cape cottage with a central chimney, wood-shingle exterior, and a surviving barn. The Weeks family owned the roughly 35-acre property for about 150 years, from 1795 to 1956. The land is believed to have earlier belonged to Captain John and Mary Percival, parents of the noted naval officer Captain "Mad Jack" John Percival. The house fronts High Street, historically the Post Road and a stagecoach route.
