The Cape keeps its own · Nauset Light

Nauset Light and its shingled keeper's house among the pines, Eastham — When the ocean ate the cliff under Nauset Light in the 1990s, Eastham did not retire the tower. The whole lighthouse was picked up and moved back, keeper's house and all. On the Cape, things worth keeping get kept.

Three centuries of cedar

Silvered cedar shingle house against the sky, New England — White cedar has sided Cape houses since the sixteen hundreds. Nobody paints it; the salt air turns it silver, and a wall of it can outlast the family that raised it.

The trade and the sea

The first house carpenters on the Cape were ship's carpenters. Men who framed hulls against the sea learned to frame houses against the wind, and the trade has respected the weather ever since.
