HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE Explain the role owners played in local or state history and how the building relates to the development of the community.
William Boyne, his wife Margaret (Kennedy) Boyne, and six of their children (Hilda, William, Jr., Harold, Dan, Kate, Albert) came to the United STates from Aberdeen, Scotland in 1921/22 and settled first in Connecticut, and later, in 1923, on Cape Cod. In 1923, William Boyne Sr. purchased 15 acres of land with a house thereon from Victor W. Rosengren. That parcel is located north of Long Pond in the village of Centerville. Prior owners of this property were Henry C. Lumbert and Freeman Marchant, both early settlers at Hyannis Port (Area HYA). William, Jr. designed airplanes and built and flew them as early as 1910 in Scotland and England. William, Sr. was in the cement, pitch and tar business before leaving Scotland. William, Sr. and his sons dug the cellar hole for their new round house and made their own cement blocks for the foundation.
While the family worked on their new house, which was designed by William, Jr., they lived in the old dwelling house located on the 15 acre parcel. It was torn down after the Boyne family moved into the round house in 1930. Half of the first floor of the house is the living room, 1/4 is the kitchen, and the other 1/4 is a dining room. The house has five bedrooms and a bath on the second floor. The cupola was the workshop of William, Jr., where he made model airplanes and ships. Hilda (Boyne) Wahlowick, who continues to occupy this unique dwelling, is the last member of her immediate family alive today.
