[MassHistPres] 1730 Cape threatened in Sandwich - looking for buyer

[Diane Gilbert]

Hi Sarah,

WOW!  I would love to see this house. Any chance that we preservation-minded fanatics can tour this house?  I’m wondering how close it resembles our 1762 Akin House in Dartmouth.  It’s earlier but time and renovations on these early houses don’t stand still, frozen in time.

> This property is located at 25 Water Street within the Sandwich Old Kings Highway Historic District and a National Register Historic District, but it is threatened after being for sale for years without a buyer.  The house retains most of its original interior woodwork and detailing, though some is buried underneath 20th century renovations.  If you know anyone interested in restoring one of our few remaining 18th century Capes in a great location on a large lot with plenty of room for new additions or outbuildings, please contact real estate agent Greg Donahue, 508-942-6416 or Historic District Committee Chair Bill Collins at brisa at dslextreme.com <mailto:brisa at dslextreme.com>.
