Historic Structure Report: Captain Edward Penniman House, Cape Cod National Seashore, Eastham, Massachusetts

Gilmore AM. 1985. Historic Structure Report: Captain Edward Penniman House, Cape Cod National Seashore, Eastham, Massachusetts. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, North Atlantic Region. Boston, Massachusetts

When the Captain Edward Penniman House was purchased by the National Park Service as part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, it was added to the List of Classified Structures as a structure that must be preserved and maintained. The proposed treatment is adaptive restoration. Both the exterior and interior were planned to be restored to their appearance during Captain Penniman's residence, which ended in 1913. Following restoration, it would be used as an interpretive site. This Historic Structures Report was prepared by the North Atlantic Historic Preservation Center for the North Atlantic Region of the National Park Service. Preparation for the report, which includes physical investigation and historical research, began in the spring of 1983. The report describes the history of the house, interior and exterior architectural features, and restoration recommendations. The interior of the house was noteworthy for its remarkable state of preservation, as it remained as it had been built.
