Home My WebLink AboutNOI 649 Scudder AveWHAT TO EXPECT historical commission proposal WWW .MILKANDHONEYGROUP .COM | TEAM @ MILKANDHONEYGROUP .COM PROJ ECT: 649 SCUDDER AVENUE HYANNI S PORT MAY 20 , 2025 r e vis ed The home at 649 Scudder Ave is a contributing structure within the Hyannis Port National Register of Historic Places. The oldest portion of building (the tallest gable-roof section) appears to be constructed circa 1850 (or earlier) in the Greek Revival style, but the home, per the historical record, reflected classic Victorian elements including a porch typical of Hyannis Port village. Subsequent additions have been added over the years on the left, right and rear of the main structure. The current owners, Alison and Mark Garrett, purchased the home from the prior owners, the Khozozians, who hired Reef Builders to design and build their new home. On behalf of the Khozozians, Reef Builders submitted a proposal to the Historical Commission that was approved on February 20, 2024. In this proposal, they showed retaining the main structure of the original building and demolishing portions of the building that did not appear original. At the time of the Garrett’s purchase in 2025, the building was in significant disrepair and neglect. Vegetation was growing through the joists, some of the floors had collapsed and the vinyl siding hid extensive rot, rendering it extremely unstable. The building had been gutted to the studs, revealing a stick frame construction. 649 SCUDDER AVENUE: Scope of Work PR OJ ECT OUT LINE W W W . M I L K A N D H O N E Y G R O U P . C O M | T E A M @ M I L K A N D H O N E Y G R O U P .C O M Alison (Morey) Garrett and her family have been residents of Hyannis Port since 1960, when her grandparents - William and Helen Burke - purchased their home on Irving Avenue. Alison’s parents bought their home, 18 Mt Vernon Avenue, in the mid 1980s. The Garretts and their two daughters purchased 34 Mt Vernon Avenue in 2009 for their family. When 649 Scudder came on the market in the neighborhood their family has always loved, they were excited to take on the process of renovation and restoration. Their family’s longstanding history in Hyannis Port reaffirms the Garrett’s interest in preservation of the village’s unique character for their and future generations. To this end, they are proposing changes to the approved plan that return the house to its original historic facade. Personally, they envision 649 Scudder Avenue as a multi-generational home, one that can be the center of their family for many years to come. The Garretts have retained Milk and Honey Group, which specializes in the renovation and preservation of historic residences, to research and redesign the approved plan in the hopes of restoring the home’s architectural integrity. Old Hyannis Port, Massachusetts: An Anecdotal, Photographic Panorama (Paul Fairbanks Herrick and Larry G. Newman) was published in 1968, and shows the original facade of the home. It also showcases multiple homes of the period that defined the historical character of Hyannis Port in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. 649 SCUDDER AVENUE: Scope of Work PR OJ ECT OUT LINE W W W .

Includes corbel details which are typical of the period (see historic photos) and clapboard skirting. Note the porch will not wrap to the north side (as in the original facade) due to the existing setback. Restoration of windows to 2/2 (approved plan showed 6/6). Restoration of clapboard siding on all sides of the house (approved plan showed cedar shake). Removal of secondary door on front facade. Revise to a window (2/2) with shutters. Revise the sunroom elevation (approved plan) to restoration of wraparound porch, an extended low- roofed gable, and an extended entablature (south elevation). The removed second door on the front facade will be picked up on the south elevation. The low roof gable and entablature are signature elements of Greek Revival architecture and will reference the original gable on the front facade. Note: we do not have an historical image of the south facade. 649 SCUDDER AVENUE: Scope of Work PL AN RE VIS IO NS W W W . M I L K A N D H O N E Y G R O U P .
