The purpose of this study is to provide information on the U.S. Coast Guard Nauset Station Dwelling and Boathouse and to develop treatment recommendations. This report was produced by the Historic Architecture Program of the NPS Northeast Regional Office. Its purpose is to guide long-range planning, preservation, and rehabilitation of the 1936 dwelling and attached boathouse at the former U.S. Coast Guard’s Nauset Station in Eastham, Massachusetts. This structure is presently used by the park as an educational and residential facility, subject to adaptive use, life safety, and accessibility mandates. In addition, the structure is situated in a dynamic environment, subject to natural coastal processes and frequent requests for permission to install communication equipment. The principle objective of this study is to “protect the integrity of the historic structure by obtaining baseline information and developing treatment recommendations.” The period of significance for Nauset Station begins with acquisition of land for the new station in July 1933, extends through the formal occupation of the new station on January 9, 1937, up to its decommissioning by the U.S. Coast Guard and departure of the crew on September 15, 1958. This report contains a mix of historic and contemporary images of the interior and exterior of the structure, along with measured drawings.
