This Historic Structures Report provides historic context for the development of the Highland House, along with architectural details. This may serve as justification for treatment planning. The Highland House in North Truro, Massachusetts stands on a bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. It was once the site of the Highland resort complex, which included the 1907 house, several cottages of varying size, a bowling alley, and a golf course. The development and decline of the resort characterizes the progression of tourism on Cape Cod. The present Highland House represents the second of the three periods into which the area's tourism history can be divided. This railroad-based period of tourism tended toward centralization and collective activity.
