Description of the property

The little French Cable Hut, a few yards south of Nauset Lighthouse, and less than a hundred yards west of the Nauset cliffs overlooking the Atlantic, is a simple shed structure, wooden planking with grayish wood panelling inside. The front portion (East side) is original--the back and kitchen area later additions to provide room for its owners as a beach cottage. Externally, the hut has traditional Cape shingled sides. It has an asphalt shingle roof. The front half, inside, has its original wooden walls and panels with inscribed and pencilled names and dates written by Cable personnel. Cable shematics (circuitry) also occupy wall space. The old cables' ends are immediately under the floor of the hut. JuNcTioN print where cable changed from orean to land. This hut was a, relay station utilized by the French Cable Co.

from 1891 after the station's equipment was moved to the new building at Orleans, Mass., the line connecting the latter through the hut to st. Pierre, Miquelon. This cable line was abandoned in 1932.

Description (additional information): The French Cable Hut is situated today a few yards south of Nauset Lighthouse, North Eastham, and about 50 yards west of the Nauset cliffs overlooking the Atlantic. The original hut was a one-room, 14' x 12', one-story high structure, with about a 5" pitch gable roof. Externally, the hut has shingled sides weathering brown in color, which probably signifies that they are of red cedar.

There has been an addition of tw bedrooms and a small bath on the west side and a kitchen to the north, changing the original hut's roof line on the rear or west side. It still has the 5" pitch gable roof but the rear or west side slopes from the ridgepole closer to ground "salt box" style. The original room (east and south) has tongue and groove boarding, stained grey running horizontally on ceiling and side walls. Pencilled on the walls are names and dates. One was Upham, Oct. 1907 (Superintendent of the Orleans Station); also a drawing (circuitry) with the words "anti-hum" pencilled above. The cables entered the hut in the northeast corner of the room. The floor boards now are of soft pine, random width. The addition has oak flooring and vertical siding stained and varnished.

The structure is on a cement foundation, perhaps done at the time of the addition of rooms to the original hut.

Statement of significance

In 1869, the French Atlantic Cable Company laid a telegraph cable from Brest, France, to St. Pierre, Miquelon, and on to Duxbury, Mass., the first time an Atlantic cable reached U.S. shores. Cyrus Field's AngLo-American telegraph Company absorbed this French Company in 1873. A second French Company laid a in 1879 from Brest via St. Pierre to a new North Eastham, Mass. station on this spot (or in this immediate area). This hut, all that remains of the old station, was presumably built about 1891. Due to isolation of the North Eastham Station, the Station's facilities (but not the big building) were moved to Orleans, Mass. in 1891 and operated until 1959. However, the St. Pierre cable, which ran through this hut to Orleans, was abandoned in 1932. Old pieces of this cable may be seen on the cliff side (Ocean side) today, and ends of the cable still lie under the floor of the hut.

This small cottage, now NPS property, will be a valuable adjunct to interpretive use in the area which contains other historical elements (lighthouses and USCG activities) besides the cable. Preceding Marconi's wireless station on Cape Cod (1903) by some 24 years, the French Cable performed a valuable service in communications, both before and after wireless. The French Station in Orleans is now the French Cable Museum, and this N. Eastham hut is a direct link with the fine museum to the south. RECEIVED APR 1 1975 NATIONAL REGISTER 9.

Statement of Significance (additional information): By 1875, there were seven transatlantic telegraph cables - 5 to Newfoundland and 2 to the United States (1869 - Duxbury, Massachusetts; 1875 - Rye Beach, New Hampshire). In 1879, the French Cable Comegny laid a cable from Brest, France, to St. Pierre, Miquelgon, and on to North Eastham, Massachusetts. A station was built, and Cape Cod was linked to cts. % station vas but, Europe.

Due to the isolation of the North Eastham area at that time, a new station was built in Orleans in 1891. To accomplish this, one of the outbuildings of the old station was used as a "Cable Hut" to serve as a connecting point between the transatlantic cable and the Orleans station. A new cable was laid underground from the hut to Nauset Beach, and thence underwater cabte through Town Cove to the new station. This arrangement continued even after a direct cable was laid from Brest to Orleans in 1899. Thus, Orleans had two cables feeding it for several years. e tot The Brest-St. Pierre-North Eastham cable was abandoned in 1932. Today the only evidences of its existence are the cables peering out of the cliff at Nauset Light Beach, and the Cable Hut itself, with the old cables' ends under the floor boards.

The French Cable preceded Marconi's wireless station on Cape Cod (1903) by some 24 years, and performed a valuable service in communications both before and after the wireless. The hut itself is a big part of the early story of the Cable on Cape Cod.
