Description of the property

The Dillingham House is set back about twenty feet from Route 6A, and the facade, which faces south, is protected from the road by a thick privete hedge. The rear elevation of the house looks out over open land, recently cleared of pine trees, across marshland and Quivit Creek to Cape Cod Bay. The house is set on fairly high land, and can be seen from the Bay. The surrounding land is rural in character with a few eighteenth and nineteenth century buildings interspersed with twentieth century development. The house is said to have been constructed by 1660. This date is based on local tradi- tion, a deed for the land still in the possession of the Dillinghams, and most impor- tantly, the existence of that date burned into one of the attic rafters. The exterior of the house has been very little altered, the major changes occurring when the house was restored in 1915-18.

As originally constructed the house was a full saltbox, with two - rooms on either side of the front hall on the first floor and a keeping room extending the length of the house behind, and two rooms on the second floor, with a small attic space under the leanto roof. In 1915 the house was restored and enlarged. A shed dormer was added to the rear of the house to provide room for two more bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor; an enclosed sleeping porch, west of the dormer, was also added. I=s The house, resting on a stone foundation, is shingled, with a regular five bay facade and a large central chimney. The first floor windows on the front have 12/12 sash 'and molded cornices; those on the second floor have 12/8 sash and plain lintels.

The six-paneled front door, later than its surround, is flanked by slender fluted pilasters and surmounted by a five light transom and a steeply pitched triangular pediment. The east elevation, with a saltbox profile sloping from the attic to below the level of the first floor ceiling, has seven windows, with sash ranging from 15/15 to 4/4. The saltbox profile of the west elevation is not as long as the profile of the east elevation, and a one-story enclosed porch projects west from the north end of the west elevation. The interior of the house is striking. The paneling and fireplaces in the two front rooms on the first floor, most likely added in the eighteenth century, remain intact. The summer beam, girts, and corner posts, all visible reminders of the building's early age, were encased and decorated with fine molding when the paneling was added.

floorboards, up to 34 inches wide, are made of pine, and are painted grey. The interior has been modernized so the house has heat, electricity and plumbing, but it retains its early character.

Statement of significance

/ARCHITECT The Dillingham House, thought to be the second oldest house on Cape Cod, is significant both architecturally and historically. It has been in continuous family ownership from the time it was built to the present,except for a forty year period from 1875 to 1915, and is important locally for its associations with the Dillingham family. The property on which the house stands was acguired by John Dillingham in 1657, and the present house was probably constructed by 1660. John Dillingham, who lived to be 85, was a leading citizen in Brewster (then called North Harwich) and a Lieutenant in the militia. A family legend, also noted in many histories of the Cape, states that when a pirate ship was sighted off the Bay,John took quick action to defend the settlement.

He gathered his neighbors to his house and led them marching around the building, firing their guns, beating drums, and shouting. The pirates, who could clearly see the house and the gathered militia from the ship, were frightened off and did not try to land. The Dillingham family produced a number of famous clipper ship captains, who contributed to the wealth and cultural life of Brewster. John Dillingham, James Sullivan Dillingham and John Dillingham III all took their ships around the world, visiting exotic ports and brought back goods to New England. The house was occupied by Dillingham sea captains until 1875 when the property was bought by the Black family. In 1915 I. S. Dillingham again acquired the property, and had the house restored under the direction of Emery Stratton.

The restoration was carefully documented, and the original windows, doors, fireplaces, stairway, paneling floors, and other major architectural features were care- fully preserved. The house is still owned by the Dillingham family, and used by them as a summer home. The architectural integrity of the building is intact, and the house stands as a pleasant reminder of Cape Cod as it looked in the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Weslowski Survey Director Masgachusetts Higtorical Commigsion NOV 1 7 10% Boston, Mass. Dear Ms. Weslowgki: Enclosed you will find a completed application for National Register submission of the Dillingham House on Old King's Highway, (Route 6A) in Brewster. The owners of the property, the Ahlstroms, have done all the research themselves, and are most anxious that we apply for the National Register listing.

As Chairman of the Brewster -Historical Commisgion I heartily concur with their efforts and hope that they will be successful. Ag a matter of fact, I do believe that the Dillingham House is the last existing saltbox as one travels east on the Lower Cape towards Provincetown. Apparently none were built beyond that point, which is interesting. That it is the oldest house in Brewster and one of the oldest left on the Cape is fairly certain. The house had a twin along side of it but wag bought and moved to Barnstable where it stands today. The Brewster House is on its original site, near its own family cemetery, on a very graceful turn in the road, ghaded by old trees. Interestingly, the løth century windmill which is now on the Register, is only a few hundred feet,perhaps,to the East of the Dillingham House.

It ig a lovely part of town which we wish to protect of courge in every possible way. The road, Route 6A, comes along very close to the Dillingham housge as you can see on the enclosed map, go its quite important I think to have it listed on the Register to protect it. 2 We have included as much material as we could locate for the present, but if additional pictures are required, or further details, wewould be most grateful to you if you would let us know exactly what is missing that is necessary to complete the application. John Ahlstrom who lives in Delaware and comes to the lape only seldom, has kept in touch and I can reach him for further help. Thank you very much in- deed for your help and interest. Most gincerely yours, Panio akylig Marion H. Wylio Box 571, Brewster, Magg.
