The Nelson Rhodehouse House is a historic house located in the Cotuit village of Barnstable, Massachusetts.
Description and history
[edit]The 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built c. 1858 by Charles Baxter, a housewright, who sold it soon thereafter to Nelson Rhodehouse, a mariner.[2] The house is a fine example of Greek Revival style, with a distinctive side entrance located in a porch that is recessed under the gable. The house is finished in flushboarding, giving the appearance of masonry, with corner pilasters.[3]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 1987.[1]
