There's more than just salt in the air on Cape Cod this month. It's sweeter, makes your heart flutter, and has bewitched us since the dawn of time. It's hard to pinpoint exactly when we decided to express our love by giving our sweethearts Valentines every February 14th. Some speculate that the first official Valentine was created by British Lieutenant Colonel John Simcoe on February 14th, 1779, during the Revolutionary War. Presented to Sally Townsend, one of the daughters in a family whose house he and other British officers were occupying on Long Island, NY, the Valentine featured a passionate poem Simcoe wrote about her. The first two lines implore his beloved:<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i>Fairest Maid, where all is fair, Beauty’s pride and Nature’s care;<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i>To you my heart I must resign, O choose me for your Valentine!</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Alas, it was never meant to be for these star-crossed lovers. Simcoe inevitably went back to England after the war, and Sally never married, living until the age of 82. The Valentine given to her as a young woman was discovered to be among her possessions after her death.</div>

Outside of the big cities, store-bought Valentines were much harder to come by, making lovers more creative with their gift giving. Here on Cape Cod, many of our men went out to sea for months on end, upon merchant ships or whaling vessels, thousands of miles away. Much of that time, one can imagine, they spent feeling homesick and heartsick for their significant others. What thoughtful and unique treasure could they bestow upon their Valentine to reflect the one-of-a-kind love they shared?</div>

The island of Barbados in the Caribbean was an especially busy seaport during the 19th century. While in port, sailors often spent their free time searching for interesting souvenirs to bring home as gifts. An especially popular and completely unique souvenir exclusive to Barbados was what we now call a Sailor's Valentine. Traditionally octagonal in shape and encased in a wooden glass frame, each Valentine was decorated with beautiful colorful shells glued together in intricate designs. Many featured romantic sayings and designs, making them the perfect Valentine for the men to bring home to their wives. The women of Barbados were the artisans of these stunning creations, and between the 1830s and 1880s, they sold these to English and American sailors with tremendous success.</div>

As we race to the supermarket tomorrow to snatch a last-minute Hallmark card and a box of chocolates, it's hard not to feel a shred of guilt when harkening back a century or two ago when Valentines were not only special, but in this case, literal works of art. Of course a gift of this quality today is well above most of our price ranges, but still, it presses me at least to pause and consider the true meaning and intent of St. Valentine's Day. We all too often find ourselves in this modern world rushed and unable to be bothered by things so frivolous as a Valentine, but think of the world of difference it would make if you presented your loved one with a gift from the heart. Be it a Sailor's Valentine or a photo of the two of you glued on pink construction paper, make Valentine's Day a holiday to cherish and to feel cherished again.</div>

As the Cape and the rest of the northeast wades knee deep through winter, homeowners, and in particular <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">historic</i> home owners, are making sure their homes are prepared for
the cold weather too. Old houses, despite their beauty, have the tendency to be
drafty. If your house hasn’t been completely remodeled to contemporary standards, your
windows are likely single-paned, your plaster walls are uninsulated, and let’s
face it: the overall construction of your home is just <i>old</i>. There is bound to be a crack
somewhere. So where does one begin? Let’s start with windows.</div>

Single-paned windows featuring the original glass are treasures
to hold. I personally would sacrifice comfort (along with my wallet) to preserve
them if I had no other choice. Luckily, historic homeowners have many options
to retain their original windows without sacrificing anything. Start
with detecting any drafts your window might have. The easiest and most
effective way to do this is by blowing smoke against the corners of the glass.
Cigarettes aren’t necessary; incense, a smoke pencil puffer stick, or even a
home inspector’s draft detector will do the job. Once you pin point where the
drafts are coming from, reseal them and add weather-strips to increase the insulation.

After the drafts have been taken care of, it’s time to
consider storm windows. They’re nothing new; storm windows have been around for
centuries and many old houses today already have them. My house, built in 1830,
has the old aluminum storm windows from the 70s which are not so pleasing to
the eye, but do the trick. Other homes are lucky to still have the original
wooden storm windows from the 19<sup>th</sup> century that tend to blend in with the exterior of the home more and are only slightly noticeable. In recent times, many preservationists have opted to use interior storm windows which are nearly invisible and a fabulous choice for those who do not want to compromise the historic authenticity of their home. With various options to choose from, like glass, acrylic or polycarbonate glazing, interior storm windows are easy to install and remove and are surprisingly cost effective. Whichever type of storm window you choose, make sure each panel is functioning properly, and they'll be sure to block those icy drafts that gust right through your single-paned glass. </div>

Moving on from the windows, arguably the most important
place in an old home to insulate is in the attic. Statistically, 30-40% of heat is
lost through the roof. Heat rises, so increasing the insulation within your
attic is crucial for conserving the heat within your home. Fortunately, attics are the easiest room in the house to insulate. They’re usually unfinished,
so adding batts (fiberglass insulation that comes in rolls) to the underside of the roof or to the attic floor is
incredibly effective and simple to install. The only thing to keep in mind is ventilation. Make sure your attic has at least one source of ventilation (i.e. traditional gable vents or another type of vent) to prevent moisture from being trapped inside and creating wood rot.</div>

Many people ask about insulating the plaster walls of an old
house. My advice to them is to leave them alone. You might ask why and I’ll assure you that you will do more damage to your home than good by drilling holes into
the plaster and blowing in insulation. Plaster walls were constructed without a
vapor barrier the way sheetrock walls are built today. When moisture clings to plaster walls and enters through hairline cracks, outlets, etc., the foam insulation will trap the incoming moisture, eventually causing dry rot and mold. This excess moisture can also attract termites, and
even cause exterior paint failure on wood siding. If that isn’t bad enough,
the pressure from the insulation foam can expand and crack the walls, and in
particularly bad cases cause structural damage to the entire house! All that
being said, it is best to leave the walls as they were built two hundred years ago and focus on the alternative methods.</div>

Historic homeowners are a special breed. Instead of striving for flawlessness, we embrace our home's quirks and imperfections: squeaky floorboards, crooked walls, and yes, a
little draftiness. It’s all part of the character. That still doesn’t mean you need to go broke and freeze this winter! As you see, there are many ways to
add some extra insulation to your home without compromising its historical integrity. Let's also not forget those fireplaces of ours serve more
than an aesthetic purpose-- they create warmth! So, as we curl up with a cup
of cocoa and watch the snow fall this winter, turn down the heat and throw a log on
the fire. You and your home will be toasty in no time.<br />

and the frost greets us on bare meadows and frigid windshields, we retreat back
to Home. The world around us grows quiet save for the squawk of a lone seagull
or the soft pedal of leaves scraping the ground. It’s toasty by the fireside
and toastier yet by the oven. We invite winter in through our stomachs and
reflect on our blessings during this most beautiful time of year.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Did you know Cape Cod was the first place that the Pilgrims landed
in the New World back in 1620? They anchored the Mayflower off the shores of
Provincetown and explored the land for a few weeks before ultimately setting
sail for Plymouth. Before they left, the Mayflower Compact was signed here. These
events were commemorated in 1892 by Cape Cod’s first non-for-profit
organization, the Cape Cod Pilgrim Memorial Association, by building a massive
252-foot monument close to the shore where they might have landed. To date, the
Pilgrim Monument is the largest granite structure in the United States. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The Annual Lighting of the Pilgrim Monument, traditionally held
the night before Thanksgiving, is an especially festive event. Each year the
monument is adorned in a sparkle of lights which first illuminate on this
occasion and shine on through the New Year. It is a time-honored tradition that
has been cherished on the Cape for generations.</span></span></div>

town’s most picturesque roadways, benefits the Lower Cape Outreach Council’s
emergency programs. Held the morning of Thanksgiving, it’s a sure-fire way to
work up an appetite while giving back to the community.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Speaking of appetite, what would a Cape Cod Thanksgiving be
without cranberries? Arguably our most prominent (and striking) crops grow in
abundance this time of year and makes a perfect complement for countless
dishes. One particularly palatable recipe comes from the kitchen of writer
Jennifer Trainer Thompson, resident of Buzzards Bay. Made for Thanksgiving,
this simple dish is a must-have for any respectable table on the Cape.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s October and New England has once again blossomed into
its most flattering form. Here on the Cape where summer reigns supreme, autumn
is our “best kept secret.” The crowds of tourists are long gone, the streets are
quiet, the salty air has a crispness to it, and the plump red sight of cranberries
begin to adorn the surrounding bogs.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

supernatural and unknown.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Dillingham House was built in the 1650s by one of
Sandwich’s founding fathers, Edward Dillingham. In the family until
1926, Edward’s great grandson Branch Dillingham had owned it in the early 1800s
with his wife and nine children. His reasons now lost to history, Branch
committed suicide in 1813 leaving his wife and children behind. If that wasn’t
bad enough, only weeks later his wife inexplicably died as well, forcing the
children to fend for themselves alone in their empty house. The proceeding conditions of the children’s lives
are hazy but we do know that most lived into adulthood, however difficult that
feat might have been for them. In any case, this family left their mark on this
house and perhaps even continues to do so.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After the property fell out of the Dillingham family’s hands, it became a rundown boarding house during the 1930s and 40s, jokingly referred
to as “The Ritz.” After that period, it was abandoned for many years, yet neighbors couldn't help but notice the strange occurrences happening there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In the 1970s individuals reported having seen strange lights moving
around the rooms within the house, despite the fact it was vacant. A police
report from 1979 listed mysterious happenings such as doors unlocking on
their own, the sound of small feet pattering across the floor and motion
detectors being set off without explanation. A woman claimed to have seen the “glimpse of a stern-looking man dressed in Victorian attire” in one of the windows. The police reports explicitly notes that this activity typically seemed to spike around Halloween…</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
In more recent years, the house had been a bed and breakfast. The owner at the time claimed to have smelled the odor of "gamey" meat pervading the house while it was under renovation. Some of his guests sweared to have seen children run across the halls, their small footsteps echoing behind them. One guest woke up to the sight of a little girl at the end of their bed watching her, and many others heard nearby footsteps when they were alone in their rooms. The owners, like the earlier police reports, agreed that the activity seemed to peak around Halloween.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Is the Dillingham House haunted or has it just been visited by generations of people with big imaginations? </span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;">I'll let you be the judge of that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #232323; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Believers and skeptics alike, we can all agree that the month of October is the perfect time to go out and enjoy our community. Here are a bunch of fabulous events on the Cape this month that you won't want to miss:</span></span><br />

You know your house is old, but are you certain <i>how</i> old? For
many owners of historic homes, obtaining a copy of the original deed or a
complete title is not so easy. Records were not kept as diligently as they are
now, if there even was an original record to begin with, so historic home owners often
need to do their detective work while trying to pinpoint the true origin of their homes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now where to begin? Start by exhausting every possible record
your house may have on file with your county or town. Your title, or the
property deed, will list the past owners of your house, but if your property is
exceptionally old it may not date far back enough to reveal the original owner.
Barnstable County has an online database of recorded deeds that saves you the
trip to the county clerk’s office (www.<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="http://barnstabledeeds.org/">BarnstableDeeds.org</a></span>).

If you are still having trouble, visit your local tax assessor. Your tax
roll may reveal when your house was built on your property. Another option is requesting
a full list of transactions (also known as the “tract index”) involving your
property from your county’s Registry of Deeds. You will then be able to see
every purchase and transfer of ownership of your house, but again, if your
house is older than the mid 19<sup>th</sup> century, these kinds of records are
all too often incomplete. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
If you are lucky enough, perhaps your town’s historical
society or library has comprehensive records of the historic properties in the
area. Early photographs, newspaper clippings, personal accounts, and census
records are some of a few clues to get closer to accurately dating your house.
I know in my case, trying to date my 19<sup>th</sup> century farmhouse on Long
Island was incredibly difficult. The records were scarce and mostly unclear.
With the help from our town’s historian, I learned that my house was built by a
prominent farmer in the area, but he did not live in it. Finding his grave in
our local cemetery, I discovered he died in 1849 so I was able to validate that
my house was likely built in the early part of the 19<sup>th</sup> century. Here
on Cape Cod, there is a helpful website that allows you to search for
gravestones by town and cemetery (<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="http://capecodgravestones.com/">www.CapeCodGravestones.com</a></span>) without having to
search aimlessly through the cemetery (however fun that sounds!)

The state of Massachusetts has a great online database of

Simply type in the address and/or city of your property and the results may be
able to tell you the year your house was built, in addition to the architect, architectural
style, and even perhaps the original significance of your property. Another slightly
less reliable database is HABS (<a href="http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/hh/">Historic American Building Survey</a>) where you
can also search for your property by county. If you manage to <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>find your property on there, consider yourself

Once you’ve traced back your property with every record that

think, and quite fascinating, in my opinion. </div>

After identifying the architectural style of your house, you
now have a broad idea of the time period in which your house was built. To enhance
your findings, step inside and observe. Do your wide plank floorboards appear
to have hand-hewn nails? If so, it was most likely built before 1800. Hand
wrought nails were predominantly made in the 18<sup>th</sup> century and
earlier. By the 1830s, nails were being machine made and became more uniformed
in appearance. </div>

If possible, look at the support beams and framing of your
house. Can you see rough saw marks, or do they look milled and uniformed? If
they resemble the latter, your house may be dated back to the 1830s or later.
Large timber beams connected to joists with wooden pegs or a cavity (also
called mortise and tenon framing) is a clear indication of an older home from
at least the early 19<sup>th</sup> century. By the 1830s, balloon framing
became the more popular method and is still used to this day. Identifying
features include long vertical 2x4 beams that are nailed to each floor frame,
essentially creating a skeleton of the house.</div>

There are countless clues your house is willing to reveal to
you if you simply acquaint yourself with these methods of dating. There are
many books on the topic and articles on the web to help you with your quest.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>A few parting words of advice:</i></div>
<ul>
<li>Do your homework! Make sure you have at least a general
understanding of American architecture before you explore. There are countless
sources online as well as in print that illustrate key architectural features
for each time period and style for you to reference.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Leave no stone unturned! Keep in mind, people
did not like to waste anything in the past. Many old houses were built with
recycled parts, so while investigating, do remember to compare all your
findings before drawing a conclusion. Focusing on one part or feature alone
will not give you an accurate picture.
Assume nothing! Does your title seem to only go
back to 1895 but your house looks Georgian? Toss that title to the side and dig
deeper. The record might be incomplete.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Last and most importantly, enjoy the quest.
Investigating the age of your house is fun and exciting. By studying each nook
and cranny, you gain a greater appreciation and understanding of your home’s
construction as well as its past. Even if your research does not lead to any
definitive conclusions, the knowledge you’ve achieved in the process is priceless.</li>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
When we first viewed the c. 1827 home that we would ultimately purchase, we were thrilled with the four fireplaces. The home had once been a double dwelling house for the workers at the Boston and Sandwich Glass Company. Each side of the house has a kitchen fireplace, with a beehive oven, and a parlor fireplace. And each fireplace has the tell tale angled walls of a Rumford style fireplace. <br />

Count Rumford, born Sir Benjamin Thompson in 1753, was a soldier, statesman, inventor, scientist and humanitarian. He was born in Woburn, MA and studied at Harvard. Being a loyalist, he left for England in 1776 where he was later made a fellow of the Royal Society. His title was bestowed in 1790 when he was made count of the Holy Roman Empire. Interestingly, "Rumford" came from the place where he lived in NH at age 19 (now Concord).<br />

His name lives on through his contributions to science, and in particular, his advancements to heating. <br />
In 1798 and 1799, Count Rumford wrote a <a href="https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/001473238" target="_blank">series of 3 essays</a> describing the ills of the common form of construction of a fireplace and the remedy to save fuel and increase comfort:<br />

According to Monticello.org, Thomas Jefferson's Monticello has 8 Rumford style fireplaces.<br />
<div>
Jefferson wrote to his friend, Wilson Cary Nicholas regarding the dimensions of his Rumford fireplaces:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i><span style="color: #073763;">Mr. P. Carr informed me two days ago that you wished for the dimensions of the Rumford fireplaces. I therefore avail myself of the first post to send them. I state them as I have used them myself, with great satisfaction, the back one half of the opening. Count Rumford makes the back but one third of the opening, this was to accommodate them to coal; but it renders them impracticable for wood. My larger fireplaces I make 2 f in the back & 4 f in front; those for bed-rooms 19 1/2 i in back & 3 f - 3 i in front. The opening of the former 3 f - 3 i or 3 f - 6 i high, the latter 3 f high.</span></i></div>

Which brings me back to my fireplaces - none of which are currently working. We are having them parged inside and re-pointed where needed. Our mason tells us that the fireplaces have great draw - Yay Rumford!</div>

Paints were now being mass produced and available in
resealable cans resulting in a wide range of possibilities that included
pastels and deeper and more saturated colors. Strong contrasts with three color
schemes for the exterior became the norm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The three-color scheme was most popular with body, trim and sash all
being distinct colors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sash, along
with the doors and shutters, were always the darkest of the three colors. The
color selection was based on color harmony; either harmony by analogy (adjacent
colors on the color wheel) or harmony by contrast (opposite colors on the
wheel).<o:p></o:p></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></b>This period is easily recognizable due to the use of
different architectural elements including towers, bays, gables, porches and
varied size windows. This architectural style lent itself perfectly <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to four and sometimes five-color schemes. The
body would be one or two intense colors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If the house had shingles and clapboards, each would be its own
color.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Trim color would be chosen to unify
the two body colors with decorative accents painted a distinct color.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sash would be the darkest color with
choices typically being dark green, deep brown, black, dark red, maroon,
chocolate, or deep umber.<o:p></o:p></div>

As the name suggests, a “woody” appearance was dictated. The
body would typically be stained or painted deep brown. Dark olives, grey-browns
and dark greens were also seen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Trim
would be beige, tan or a dark contrasting color such as dark green, dark olive,
or maroon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sash and doors were always
dark.<o:p></o:p></div>

Now you have an overall idea of what is appropriate for your
period house when choosing body, trim, sash, shutter and door colors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But where do I find paint formulated in the
right shade and which shade do I choose?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>To takeout the guesswork, Historic New England outlines precisely which
colors are appropriate for each period using California Paints color chart, Historic
Colors of America.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 18.9px; line-height: 1.3;"> Cotuit, December 23.—"Yessir, I've seen it once; an' my husband's seen it _sev'ral times. Others has seen it, too." </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18.9px; line-height: 1.3; margin: 4px 4px 1em;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 18.9px; line-height: 1.3;">So said Mrs. George Childs of Cotuit, Mass., in reference to a mysterious something which has for some time been agitating the little village. The latter—in reality a part of the town of Barnstable—is picturesquely situated on an arm of Vineyard Sound and has a population of about 600. The principal occupations of its inhabitants are blue-fishing and coasting—in its nautical sense—and there is but little danger of error in addressing any one of its older male inhabitants as "captain." It is the summer home of about a dozen Boston families, its distance from the railroad—seven miles—making it a particularly secluded resort. North ol the village, between it and West Barnstable, is a dense forest, in or near which, and always in the night time, the strange something has appeared. One of the times my husband saw it continued Mrs. Childs, "he was kinder sittin' down—just a lightin' his pipe when it came along, an' nearly passed over him. He said it 'peared like a tall woman,dressed all in black with a black veil over her head, reachin' down to her shoulders. He said 'Hey there,' kinder sharp, but it didn't make no answer; an' was out of sight in a minute. The same thing passed right close to him another night, an' he said, 'Good evenin'' but there wasn't no answer." "When did you see it yourself?" "It was the night the band played here. I was walkin' along the road with mother, an' she said suddenly: 'Did you see that?' I turned an' set; what looked jest like a woman dressed all in black, her head covered with a black veil jest as my husband said. She was standin' by a tree when I see her an ' the next minute she was gone. It had brushed right by mother. If it's a, ghost, it's a black one that's sure, it was just about 9 o'clock when we see it." </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18.9px; line-height: 1.3; margin: 4px 4px 1em;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.9px; line-height: 1.3;">Mr. Childs' house is situated in a lonely spot about half a mile from the centre of the village, and it was within a short distance of his house that the apparition, if apparition it be, was seen</span><span class="" style="font-size: 18.9px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.3;">. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18.9px; line-height: 1.3; margin: 4px 4px 1em;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.9px; line-height: 1.3;">Mr. Millard Adams of Cotuit was next interrogated: "I saw it, " he said, "at about the same place as the others. It looked to me like a tallish woman. I couldn't say how it was dressed. I stopped when I see it, and the next minute it brushed right past me an'</span><span style="font-size: 18.9px; line-height: 1.3;"> disappeared. It was just about 11 o'clock when I see it. I did not say anything to it at all." </span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 18.9px; line-height: 1.3; margin: 4px 4px 1em;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.9px; line-height: 1.3;">"When I saw it," said Mr. Eugene Crowell, "it was about 8 o'clock. It was starlight, but there wasn't any moon an' I was coming along the road with Ezra Hobson. When we see it was right up to us, an' it looked like a tall woman dressed in black her head and face covered with a black veil. It rushed right by me and was gone, like a flash. Neither of us said a word to it.</span><span class="" style="font-size: 18.9px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.3;">"</span><span style="font-size: 18.9px; line-height: 1.3;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 4px 4px 1em;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.9px; line-height: 1.3;">"I will tell you my experience, " said Mr. Levi P. Nickerson. "Let me see, it was the 4th of this month. I was driving in from Osterville—I'm a peddler—an' was sitltin' on the right-hand side of the seat kinder leanin' up against the side of the cart, havin' a smoke. The night wasn't very clear, it was kinder misty, an' it was about 6 o 'clock. I'd just come to the woods between Marston's Mills an' here, on the stage road, when, wish! came a large stone out of the bushes, striking my horse oh his right side. I looked in that direction and saw a movement in the bushes like a man's arm and the next instant another stone whizzed by my head made a hole in the wagon cover and dropped in the team. My horse is afraid of the whip and when the stone struck him he set off on the run. I pulled him in as soon as I could, within maybe twenty yards and got out of the team and walked back a way, but I was empty-handed and didn't go f</span><span style="font-size: 18.9px; line-height: 1.3;">ar. The only thing I saw at all besides the stones was the slight movement in the bushes, like a man's arm and a dim outline of something or other; I could not say what. It looked to me as if it might be a tall man, with a long coat.— The stone which dropped in the wagon weighed all of a pound, and appeared to be a piece of a grindstone. It was different from any kind of stone you would expect to find in those woods." </span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 4px 4px 1em;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 18.9px; line-height: 1.3;">"Yes, " said Mrs. Nickerson "there is mystery even about the stone, and I've been frightened ever since." </span></div>
<div style="margin: 4px 4px 1em;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 18.9px; line-height: 1.3;">All the parties quoted are well-known residents of Cotuit and their varacity is beyond question. One other incident of a mysterious nature has taken place since those above related. Willie A. Sturgis of the schooner John Stroupe, now in Boston harbor, and Captain Willis T. Nickerson of the schooner Nellie C. Paine were driving into Cotuit the other evening and when near the scene of Mr. Nickerson's adventure, suddenly beheld what appeared to be a tall man standing in the road in front of them. Their horse was going rapidly at the time, and when they yelled at the apparition it appeared-to step to one side and they passed by it so near that it seemed as if they touched it. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 4px 4px 1em;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 18.9px; line-height: 1.3;">The testimony of these gentlemen, as that of the others quoted, is beyond question. Furthermore, the town is strictly temperate, nothing whatever of an alcoholic nature being sold in it.— </span></div>
<div style="margin: 4px 4px 1em;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 18.9px; line-height: 1.3;">The bushes through which the phantom arm was seen by Mr. Nickerson were visited to-day and in their cheerless winter garb seemed a fitting abode for a- restless inhabitant of the other world. With the exception of the stone throwing it has shown no disposition to molest any one, the only fault to be found with it otherwise being its fondness for late hours and forest glades. All attempts to unravel the mystery have thus far, proved unsuccessful.</span></div>

Nancy Muccini, a friend and colleague of ours at Kinlin Grover, has this wonderful listing right in the heart of Sandwich village that I'd like to share with you. The home has a lengthy history, having been built in 1750 by Benjamin Fessenden, Jr. and his sister Ruth, who owned the public house on Main St. (now known as the Dan'l Webster Inn). <br />

At times, we work with clients who love the history, character-rich exposed beams and stately facade of an historic home, but also prefer the open floor plan and updated systems that come with a newer home. This house is calling for that buyer! In 1994, the home was renovated down to the timbers and has newer plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. The timber frame was left exposed and adds a warmth to the open floor plan which is so often lacking in many newer homes. The central fireplace is a 20th century addition to the house and is a cozy focal point from many areas of the main floor.<br />

I visited the basement which is often the deal breaker area for buyers who are hesitant about purchasing an antique home. This one was hand dug in the mid 20th century and looks like it has had substantial work done to the underpinning of the home.<br />

The gardens surrounding the home are beautiful and, as a huge fan of "garden rooms", I really appreciated the separate areas of the landscape, framed by trimmed hedges. Sitting on 1.35 acres, the home is just across the street from lovely Shawme pond and is a quick jaunt for a wood fired pizza at the Brown Jug or a cup of Haddock Chowder at Beth's Bakery. <br />

Today we are going to tour the new listing of our friend and colleague at Kinlin Grover, Cindy Muzyka. 494 Main St., otherwise know as the Judah Baker house, is located in one of the most charming historic villages on the Cape, the South Dennis Historic District.<br />
<br />
The house is a classic 3/4 cape and dates to 1829. Judah was a housewright, known today as a builder, or more accurately, a carpenter who built homes. The home has simple but elegantly proportioned rooms and retains much of its early 19th century fabric.<br />

Many of our clients pine for exactly this type of house. It has been preserved over the years in close to its original layout. The kitchen was added to an ell off the back of the house, sparing the original kitchen which is now the living room (or could be used as a dining room). The kitchen itself is older and in need of a renovation. However, it is large and bright and has one of the most charming pantries I've ever seen.<br />

When showing historical homes to clients, occasionally one will make such an impression on me, that it will be stuck in my head long after the showing. The Elijah Cobb house in Brewster was just such a property. I showed it to a lovely couple in 2013 when it was on the market. The client, a professional preservationist, and I could not believe how pristine and in tact the house was. It is unusual for a home to be so remarkably preserved, especially considering its 1799 date. <br />
<br />

Sometime later, I was delighted to hear that the Brewster Historical Society had indeed purchased the property and promptly got to work with the restoration. I saw that Bob Hoxie of Great Hill Horticultural Services was designing and installing the gardens and I knew that I had to make a trip to see the finished results.<br />
<br />
The house is a classic example of georgian architecture with its handsome symmetrical facade, hip roof, quoins on the corner boards, double interior chimneys and pedimented door surround with fanlight, framed by fluted pilasters. By today's standards, the home is reserved, but in the day it was built, there could be no doubt that this was the home of a person of wealth and distinction.<br />

The interior of the home is equally preserved and impressive with its original floor boards, dentil and reeded moldings, elegant front stairs, and doors with early faux wood graining and stenciling. Visitors enter from the ample back porch (a more recent addition), into what would have been the kitchen with its fireplace and beehive oven. Along the east wall is a door which leads to the back stairs once used by servants to access their north facing bedroom. This allowed the servants to slip down the back steps and start the fires and morning breakfast with minimum disturbance to the family.<br />

In the front of the house are double parlors, one on each side of the graceful stairway. The colors used in these rooms and elsewhere in the house are the result of careful research. During the restoration, some paint chips were analyzed and the final colors selected by the curator, Leslie Aberle and the President of the Brewster Historical Society, and noted author, Sally Gunning. The floor boards are painted with California Paints, Wooden Nutmeg. The west parlor is painted Benjamin Moore's Homestead Green, the east parlor in California Paints Woodstock Rose and the trim throughout is in California Paints Phelps Putty. The historical society consulted with <a href="https://www.historicnewengland.org/" target="_blank">Historic New England</a> as well as a private historic preservationist during the restoration.<br />

His exploits included rum running off the coast of Ireland and being taken prisoner during the War of 1812. He ultimately returned to his farm overlooking Cape Cod Bay in 1820 and was very active, serving as town clerk, treasurer, inspector general, senator, and justice of the peace. <br />
<br />
Captain Cobb's granddaughter, Caroline Dugan, features prominently at the Cobb house through the Brewster historical society's collections, including her photographs capturing Brewster in the late 19th century. Caroline was born in the home and, in her early 20's, kept a diary detailing day to day life. A favorite topic in her writings is her charming garden and the abundant nature surrounding her in what was decidedly, the country. Her diary, embellished with her own photography, was published by The Brewster Ladies Library and can be purchased in the gift store. For more on the garden, see my separate post <a href="https://historichomescapecod.blogspot.com/2017/08/caroline-dugans-beloved-gardens-at-cobb.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

When Bob Hoxie, owner of Great Hill Horticultural Services, was tasked with designing the gardens for the Brewster Historic Society's Cobb house, he got a little help from a very unlikely source, a previous owner who died in 1941. Caroline Dugan, the great granddaughter of the shipmaster Elijah Cobb, was born in 1853 in the house now bearing his name and kept a lively diary from 1873 to 1878. <br />

Bob, a historic landscape designer and curator, took inspiration from the descriptions of her beloved garden and incorporated the flora mentioned in her diary. Many of the varieties of plants available to Caroline are not readily available today. Fortunately, Bob starts heirloom seeds in cold frames in the spring to supply the historical gardens that he curates. He explains that the inspiration for this garden came from Caroline's writings, photographs, and a sense that this is a Cape Cod country garden of a young lady in the late 19th century. He wanted to avoid the look of a professionally designed and overly groomed and impersonal landscape. <br />

Bob is a master at bringing a historical landscape to life, allowing visitors to get a taste of the exuberance and curiosity of young Caroline as expressed in her garden. Great Hills Horticultural Services works with historical museums but also with private homeowners of historic as well as newer homes. Some of his works include gardens at the Plymouth Antiquarian Society, Plimoth Plantation, the Oyster Harbors estate of Rachel "Bunny" Mellon,<i> </i>and private residences across Cape Cod and the South Shore.

Our forefathers had the good sense to build inland in many cases. Unfortunately, rising sea levels and beach erosion have brought the sea to the house. FEMA, in an effort to reduce the risk of loss of property or life, has established minimum requirements for renovating homes in communities that participate in the flood insurance program. Ahem, all of Cape Cod.<br />
<br />
For <b>non historic houses</b> in communities that participate in the flood insurance program, once the house has been "substantially improved", meaning 50% of its pre improved value, it must be brought into conformance with the National Flood Insurance Program requirements. Note that in many places, "substantial improvement" is cumulative (though not in Massachusetts), so if you renovate your kitchen this year, and upgrade the heating system next year, and re-do the bathrooms in a couple of years, these all count together towards reaching the 50% improvement level. <br />
<br />
These images from FEMA's bulletin help to visualize what is required to bring a structure into compliance once it has undergone "substantial improvement" or flood losses worth 50% or more of the value of the home.<br />

<b>However, a structure that meets FEMA's criteria for being a "Historic Structure" is not included in the 50% substantial improvement rule as long as changes or improvements do not result in a loss of the structure's historic designation.</b><br />
<br />
This excerpt is from the following bulletin:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.fema.gov/media-library-data/20130726-1628-20490-7857/tb_p_467_2_historic_structures_05_08_web.pdf" target="_blank">National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Floodplain Management Bulletin: Historic Structures</a><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) gives special consideration to the unique value of
one of our Nation’s most significant resources – its historic buildings, landmarks, and sites. It does
so in two ways. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>First, the NFIP floodplain management regulations provide significant relief to historic structures.
Historic structures do not have to meet the floodplain management requirements of the program as
long as they maintain their historic structure designation. They do not have to meet the new
construction, substantial improvement, or substantial damage requirements of the program. This
exclusion from these requirements serves as an incentive for property owners to maintain the
historic character of the designated structure (44 CFR §60.3). It may also serve as an incentive for
an owner to obtain historic designation of a structure. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Secondly, a designated historic structure can obtain the benefit of subsidized flood insurance
through the NFIP even if it has been substantially improved or substantially damaged so long as the
building maintains its historic designation. The amount of insurance premium charged the historic
structure may be considerably less than what the NFIP would charge a new non-elevated structure
built at the same level. Congress requires that the NFIP charge actuarial rates for all new
construction and substantially improved structures (National Flood Insurance Act of 1968,
42 U.S.C. 4015).</i><br />
<i>*</i>changes in 2012 have eliminated this subsidy and a phased increase will bring all structures up to unsubsidized levels for flood insurance.<br />
<br />
Does it make sense to incorporate mitigating building criteria to make an historic home more resilient in the event of flooding? You bet! There are many suggestions to help make your historic home better able to withstand flooding (outlined in the NFIP bulletin on Historic Structures). But already, mis-information has resulted in antique homes being demolished because the owner perceives the substantial improvement rule to be too much of a hardship. Historic Homes are unique in their construction and cultural value and FEMA has allowed for them to receive special consideration. This can make the difference in whether an owner decides to preserve a historic home.<br />
<br />
So what makes a house "historic"? According to FEMA's bulletin:<br />

So you don't have to be individually listed on the National Register, your house can be listed as a contributing member in a National Register Historic District (like the Old King's Highway). Or your house could be listed on the state listing of historic places (for Massachusetts, this is <a href="http://mhc-macris.net/" target="_blank">MACRIS</a>). Or, your house could be designated on a local inventory for communities with historic preservation programs (like your local historical commission which is an arm of the State's Historical Commission).<br />
<br />
If you live in an AE zone or V zone, this is welcome news indeed!<br />

1. How tall are you? Do you clamor for an early period home with an enormous hearth complete with beehive oven? These early gems have wide pine floors, multi paned wavy glass windows, iron thumb latches and built in cupboards. But what they usually don't have, is high ceilings. Many late 17th century or early 18th century homes have low ceilings. So if you are a contender for the NBA, you may want to look at a later period style home or a vintage 1940's reproduction.<br />

2. Basements. Many of the antique homes on the Cape have what we affectionately refer to as a "Cape Cod" basement. It is a circular pit lined with stone or, more commonly, brick. At any given time it will fit your water heater, your boiler, your electrical panel, and if you don't weigh very much, you. There will be no man cave, no movie theater, no basement tavern. <br />

3. Bathrooms are a new fangled thing. Some buyers will scoff at the little bathrooms that are shoe horned under the back stairs or into a closet off the kitchen. But these are an improvement from the original "bathroom" which consisted of an outhouse, a chamber pot and a moveable tub placed in front of the kitchen hearth. Sometimes kitchens and baths have been added to an ell off the older section of the house to accommodate those modern amenities. If not, be prepared for more cozy bathrooms and kitchens- small in square footage but big on charm.<br />

4. Financing. The condition of the home will be a consideration when choosing your financing options. Some forms of financing may not work if the home has chipping lead paint or knob and tube wiring. Never fear, there are financing options that work well for an antique home in need of some TLC (203k, HUD Title 1 Home improvement loan).<br />
<br />
5. Location. Yes, you may still be able to find a lonely cottage down a long lane surrounded by the changing marsh. But more likely, that historic home is going to be on Main St. surrounded by historic homes of different vintages and walking distance to a cup of coffee and the morning paper. Also, ye old settlers shied away from building their homes on the ocean, though late 19th century homes appreciated the sea air. If you want an earlier home that is waterfront, you may want to look to the rivers.<br />

<br />
<br />
6. Historic District approvals. This, for some reason, strikes the greatest of fear. What if I want to change the color of my door? What if I need to re-roof? Breathe, the process isn't as bad as it seems. Even new houses in a historic district may be subject to architectural review. But if you are an old house enthusiast, it is unlikely that you are going to want to change the exterior of your home to look like an airplane hanger. And the historic district doesn't have purview on the interior. The historic district protects the value of your home, preserves its setting, and is the reason that the Old King's Highway looks the way it does.<br />
<br />
7. Are you feint of heart? The inspection for the purchase of your historic home is going to separate the sheep from the goats. Be prepared to have a long laundry list that includes non functioning GFCI outlets, evidence of a previous powder post beetle infestation, and not-up-to-code tree trunks in the basement supporting the floor joists. Don't panic, keep your eye on the prize. It will be worth it!<br />

First, the house. Walking into the mudroom from the back
door we looked right and saw the most charming laundry room. From the hallway we entered the kitchen. It has
a bit of an industrial vibe with 6’ wide built-in Viking refrigerator,
stainless steel open shelves, restaurant style center island and stove. One of
the best features is that while you are waiting for your “pot to boil” you can
relax in the sitting room portion of the kitchen that includes a wall of
bookshelves for all your cookbooks.<o:p></o:p></div>

the bedrooms are accessed off the hall. No old house quirk here, where you go
through one bedroom to get to another. Yet, there was a door that connected two
bedrooms, so if you have kids who like to be together, this house is
perfect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a fourth bedroom on

The biggest surprise was the barn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All we can say is wow! We walked into a huge
room downstairs and then into a light filled shed roof addition behind it with
sliding doors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The doors led outside to
a beautiful patio overlooking a large luxurious grass area and remaining
acreage beyond.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh, did we mention that
this property has 1.13 fenced acres? Perfect for the garden enthusiast or kids
you want to have a private place to play. Upstairs in the barn was another large
room with home theatre. Perfect for “movie night” with family and friends.<o:p></o:p><br />

Looking for a house that is oozing with charm but also works well for today's living? The classic Cape Cod homes that dot our landscape were an inspiration for the renowned architect Royal Barry Wills. Though he also designed cutting edge modern homes, his traditional designs helped to catapult the Cape style home to the forefront of Colonial Revival American architecture during the first half of the 20th century. Wills, born in Melrose Massachusetts in 1895, established his architectural practice in 1925. <br />

A graduate of MIT in architectural engineering, Wills pulled inspiration from the language of traditional architecture for his cape style homes. They evoke the feeling of a quieter time but incorporate modern kitchens and baths and the necessary garage of the mid 20's century. He was a master of proportion and his homes can be recognized by their easy relationship with the surrounding landscape.<br />

This post should be subtitled "How did I not know this was a thing". I was rummaging around my favorite book store, when I came across a jewel in their used book section. The object of my desire was a worn portfolio of architectural essays, entitled "The White Pine Series of Architectural Monographs", which was barely held together with a clip. I brought it home and upon researching further, found that the bi weekly series, edited by architect Russell Whitehead, had a long history in documenting historical architecture in the United States.<br />

The White Pine Series was born in 1914 and was supported by the Northern Pine Manufacturer's Association of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan and the Associated White Pine Manufacturer's of Idaho as an advertising vehicle for using Eastern White Pine in building. As such, the focus was initially on exterior details and highlighted colonial New England Architecture to capitalize on the colonial revival fever sweeping the nation.<br />
<br />
When, in 1924, the White Pine Bureau ceased its sponsorship, the series continued with other advertisers but broadened its focus to include interior and public buildings as well as southern buildings.<br />
<br />

Whenever I am researching the history of a property, HABS is usually my first stop as it is a wealth of history, photographs and architectural drawings of historic properties, especially 17th, 18th and early 19th century buildings. I also look up info in the<a href="http://mhc-macris.net/" target="_blank"> Massachusetts Cultural Resource Information System (MACRIS)</a>. <br />
<br />
However, this series was new to me and so exciting because it often relates structures to a theme, such as 19th century entries, 18th century mantels, etc rather than taking a building in isolation. Also, the detailed drawings and photos in this series of interior features are a delight. This series could also be very useful to people building a new home who want a classic look.<br />

<br />
If you are wondering what the chances are of your finding the series in a used book store, fear not! Much of the series has been reset and printed and can be purchased on Amazon. Also, the series is in the public domain so you can see many of the<a href="http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.31175024457643;view=1up;seq=1" target="_blank"> bi weekly publications at online libraries</a>. Also, publications from 1914 through 1931 are available online (with printing capabilities) through <a href="http://easternwhitepine.org/white-pine-monographs/1910s/" target="_blank">Eastern White Pine sponsored by NELMA</a>.<br />

If you haven't had work done to your home in a while, you may be surprised to learn that the dominance of sheetrock with mud and tape has slipped as many builders and homeowners choose blue board with a plaster veneer as their finish of choice for walls and ceilings. This is especially good news for old house owners whose plaster is damaged or was removed and replaced with sheetrock.<br />
If you do have original plaster, it is worth noting that in many cases it can be restored and resurfaced for less cost and better quality than replacing with newer materials. Original plaster has a flexibility that modern replacements lack. Properly maintained it can last many years and have the added benefits of mold inhibiting characteristics and an unparalleled authenticity.<br />
<br />
Though our house has much of its original plaster on lathe, the original plaster was removed on the ceiling and badly damaged on the front interior wall. We felt that smooth modern sheetrock with mud and tape would stand in stark contrast to the subtle texture and visual movement of the original plaster. So, we turned to Leigh Draper, a local plasterer with many years experience to help us with our restoration. (Leigh services the Southern Massachusetts and Cape Cod area. His phone number is 508-264-3497).<br />
<br />
Though Leigh seemed a bit surprised by our request to leave the surface of the plaster less than perfect (he could make it as smooth as a mirror), he used his ample skills and talent to match the original plaster in our living room, dining room and entry.<br />
<br />
Applying veneer plaster requires both knowledge and skill. The plaster must be mixed and applied before it becomes too hard and unworkable. Ambient temperature and humidity also play a large role in the success of the plaster finish.<br />

Put aside your beach towel and suntan lotion (I know, its hard, but you'll be glad you did!) and join us for an Open House at The Isaac Davis House, located at 3688 Main St. in historic Barnstable Village, Saturday August 1st, from 11 AM to 1 PM. This beautiful house has a rich history. Beginning as a Federal style home, it underwent substantial updating during the Greek revival period. Feast your eyes on the generous, inviting rooms and imagine sitting in front of one of the fireplaces with a good book and cup of tea. <br />

An <a href="http://www.yankeemagazine.com/article/home-3/house-sale-cape-cod" target="_blank">article in Yankee magazine </a>mentions the secret trap door leading to an underground tunnel that could have been used as a stop in the underground railroad. There were Davis' at that time that belonged to the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), known abolitionists. Hmm, could Isaac have shared their sentiments?</div>

If you like the beautiful historic paint collections from Benjamin Moore and California paints, you're going to love the new <a href="http://tobyleary.com/farrow-ball/" target="_blank">Farrow and Ball showroom in Hyannis</a>. The showroom, housed at the Toby Leary Fine Woodworking location, 135 Barnstable Road, is painted in gorgeous <a href="http://us.farrow-ball.com/" target="_blank">Farrow and Ball </a>chalky shades.<br />

I have several books by Ross Byam Shaw that include character filled homes in the English countryside. I always sigh at the soft quality of the paint and am not surprised to check the resources and find that it is another Farrow and Ball confection. She has also written two inspiring books that specifically highlight Farrow and Ball paint, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Farrow-Ball-Decorating-Colour-Byam/dp/1849754233/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428355428&sr=8-1&keywords=farrow+and+ball" target="_blank">Farrow and Ball Decorating with Colour</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Farrow-Ball-Living-Colour-Byam/dp/1849750386/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1428355497&sr=8-2&keywords=farrow+and+ball" target="_blank">Farrow and Ball Living with Colour</a>. Pure eye candy.<br />

If you would like to see customer's uploaded photos, check out their <a href="http://inspiration.farrow-ball.com/" target="_blank">Inspiration Gallery</a> - full of photos of real life rooms. You can even sort by the particular paint color that you are interested in to see how it looks in different applications. <br />
<br />
Stop by the Hyannis showroom and take a look. They even have these itty bitty paint can samples for $7 of all 132 color (or should I say colours?) so that you can try one on for size in your own home. <br />

For a historic home enthusiast, you'll appreciate that many of the colors are derived from historic samples. I love the names of these colors too - Elephant's breath, mouse's back, Mizzle…</div>

<br />
If you've purchased a home that needs a wee bit of work, but you don't have equity (umm, because you just purchased it), here is a nifty loan that can help. In my case, we purchased our house at the height of the market, and the price still hasn't recovered to the point where we have enough equity to do an equity line of credit. I had written a <a href="http://historichomescapecod.blogspot.com/2012/02/older-homes-that-need-tlc-and-203k.html" target="_blank">post previously about a 203k loan</a> which bases the loan on the projected finished value of the home. However, few homes have sold in my neighborhood and those that have needed A LOT of work (one was marketed as a tear down!). On paper, the finished value of my house did not support the work that I wanted to do. Whats a gal to do?<br />
<br />
I searched for loans that do not require equity and stumbled upon the <a href="http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/housing/sfh/title/ti_abou" target="_blank">HUD Title 1 Home Improvement loan</a>. It sounded too good to be true. The maximum loan on a single family house is $25,000 and can be used for building alterations, repairs and site improvements. Now here is the best part, there is no home inspection or appraisal! The loan is secured by your home (like a second mortgage) but they do not consider the equity that you have in your home. The only catch is that you need good credit, and of course your income must be sufficient to support the loan.<br />
<br />
The paperwork was so easy and streamlined that I honestly wondered during the process if it were some kind of scam. I checked out the bank and could find nothing nefarious so we went ahead with the loan. From the time we applied, to the time we closed, was 10 days. 10 DAYS I tell you. And we were never asked for the same piece of information more than once. The attorney came to our house, at OUR convenience, to do the closing. We have 6 months to make the repairs (or ask for an extension) before an inspector comes out to verify that the work was done. Easy Peasy. The loan officer we used is John Rodriguez, <a href="http://www.admiralsbank.com/home-improvement-lending/for-homeowners/home-improvement-loans/program-highlights" target="_blank">Admirals Bank</a>, Office #401- 248-7267, Mobile #401-439-6236, 15 Park Row, West Providence, RI 02903.<br />
<br />
I can't believe that more banks don't offer this. In fact, many loan officers that I spoke with don't even know that the program exists. We used it to finance a new roof, some work to our chimney and to fix rotted trim boards. <br />
<br />
Is there a downside? The rate is higher than a traditional refinance. I'm not sure how it compares to a home equity loan though. However, we combined this with a 0% long term loan from the Mass Save Energy program to get the rest of the work that we wanted done.<br />
<br />
If you live in Massachusetts, I highly recommend getting a <a href="http://www.masssave.com/" target="_blank">MassSave Energy Audit</a>. If for no other reason, you get free light bulbs. Our audit revealed that our house was 10 TIMES more drafty than a modern house. It's no wonder we've been hemorrhaging money to pay for our oil heat. They identified some easy, low cost ways to improve our energy loss, like insulation in cracks, door sweeps, and changing out light bulbs. And they identified some more involved work like converting to gas and changing out windows (ours are NOT original, but are the result of a 1940's renovation). <br />

A note about windows, if you have original windows in your historic home - keep them if you can! People are often worried about energy loss, but the truth is, studies show that you can get near to, or equal, the energy efficiency of modern insulated pane windows by adding good quality storms on the exterior or interior of the window. And few things change the character of your house as quickly as removing the original windows. For great information on energy efficiency of historic windows, <a href="http://www.ohp.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=25935" target="_blank">click this link to a post by California's Office of Historic Preservation.</a> I am disappointed that the MassSave Energy program does not allow for a 0% loan if you are restoring your windows - only for replacement.<br />

For a long time, the housing market has viewed Victorians as being stuffy dark places where ghosts and mice like to dwell. Oh sure, there have been the hold outs, the purists who love a curvy Queen Anne Victorian parlor and whose mantra is "more is more"! But for many, Victorians spell formality and fussiness. But that attitude is changing, as evidenced by some recent tours on<a href="http://www.houzz.com/" target="_blank"> Houzz</a> and <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/" target="_blank">Apartment Therapy</a> featuring Victorians in a fresh modern light. </div>

I lived in a Queen Anne Victorian as a child and I still remember the intricate molded plaster that decorated the dining room in a fanciful collection of fruit and cherubs. That house sparked my passion for historic homes.<br />
<br />
Here on the cape, our historic homes date as far back as the 17th century, but there are pockets of Victorians. The Cape became a popular tourist destination during the Victorian period. You may be familiar with the charming painted cottages on Martha's Vineyard.<br />
