Pilgrim George Lewis, clothier from Kent England in 1630, bought 12 acres from the Indians in Barnstable when Plymouth became overcrowded. Our house was built here by his grandson Benjamin. The room below and kitchen were built the first year as a 3/4 Cape; becoming a full Cape soon after.
1717 Old Farm is newly restored now and pretty as a picture. Two of my favorite contemporary paintings are hung inside and complete the picture for me.
The below was painted in Nantucket of it's lovely flora & fauna, and hangs lit in the kitchen. The old pegged ceiling beams, rafters and floor boards here, are a wonderful setting!
