It is significant for its associations with the several illustrious families who have lived there: The Crockers, Hoopers and Lowells. It is also important for its associations with and continuous reflection of Cotuit's agricultural and summer resort history. Finally, it is significant as a fine piece of Georgian architecture enhanced by retention of its rural landscape and numerous outbuildings. The Crocker House thus meets criteria A, B and C of the National Register of Historic Places. ARCBnECTORAL SIGNIPIC3WCE Describe ijnportant architectured features and evaluate in terms of other buildings within the oonnunity. The Crocker House is a 2^ story gable roof structure with two interior chimneys. Its five bay facade is centered around the entry and a projecting enclosed porch at the second story. Windows at the first story have been replaced but the remainder are original and contain 6/6 sash; those on the side elevations have projecting lintels. The pilasters on the corners and the entry are similar to those of other Crocker family houses in Santuit (area CTA). There are two ells, one possibly older than the main house and a second, sail loft added with the summer kitchen before c. 1850-60. The porch on the south side and east was probably added in the 1860's by Gen. John Reed, the tenant who was allowed to make any changes he wanted. The window changes in the southwest parlor and the dining room (first story front) were made in 1892 by Mrs. Edward J. Lowell. The interior panelling is comparatively simple, though it is known that the northwest room had a panelled wall, which was so badly altered it was sealed up in 1892 and again in 1950. Except for narrowing the back hall to enlarge that room and altering the northeast bedroom to get a view and access HISTORICAL SIOHFia^NCE Explain the role owners played in local or state history and hew the (con building relates to the development of the commmity. This house shows the further development of the houses built by the Crocker family in Santuit and the growth of interest in the maritime business. Ebenezer (1751-1817) married comparitively late and had his first son Nathan in 1783. It is possible that the house was built about that time as his grandson Gilbert stated and it was certainly there in 1794 when the road from Marstons Mills was completed to what is now Hooper's Landing. Ebenezer served two terms in the State legislature from 1791, which gave him the title of Esq. and Hon and according to his gravestone was considered "an upright and efficient and useful citizen" as well as that "His conciliating manners and active benevolence greatly endeared him to the neighborhood in which he lived." He is said to have built the wharf, now represented by eelgrass near the west fence. His son Braddock added the store, later used as a boat house. The elder son, Nathan Crocker became the first episcopal bishop of Rhode Island and was one of the first of his family to move away. The estate was divided at Old Oyster Road and the western part of the land was not developed until recently. Braddock's daughter Mary Bourne Crocker married Alexander Scudder, ship captain. He was pursuaded to sell the estate to the Boston merchant Samuel Hooper, son-in-law to William Sturgis of Barnstable. This was to enable the captain to take one of the Hooper ships to the Gold Coast in 1849. j Mr. Hooper became the first summer resident. Many well known people stayed in the house J including Charles Sumner and other political figures. Hooper's niece Marian Hooper spent i her honeymoon with Henry Adams in the house.

Their daughter, Alice, wife of James Hardy Ropes, professor at Harvard took it over in 1904 and many academic visitors stayed there. Description: outbuildings Four contributing historic outbuildings, all of which date from the mid-19th century and all of which appear on the 1880 County Atlas, are scattered about the fields of the Ebenezer Crocker, Jr. House. The simplest is the post-1850 workshop which is a 1^ story shingled structure with no decorative detail. It retains early 6/6 sash, but has been modernized with an overhead garage door. It contained a forge in the 19th century. Of more interest is the cl850 ice house with attached woodshed. The ice house portion is a li story shingled structure whose gable roof is topped by a cupola. This center portion is framed by 1 story v/oodshed wings which retain original swinging doors. The largest and oldest outbuilding on the property is a cl794 barn which is a clapboarded gable roof struc- ture with cupola. Windows contain 6/6 sash and are headed by heavy caps. A carriage room was added later,during the ownership of Samuel Hooper. Finally, a board and batten cottage built cl850 by William Webb, a Scottish farmhand, exists on the property. It is a small story gable roof structure with a symmetrical three bay facade and lean-to roof pro- file. Two other outbuildings that are in deteriorated condition and appear to be later in date are not considered to be contributing, see attached photographs of all eutbuildings.

Procedures for Move and New Location: The Ebenezer Crocker Jr. House (NRIS ##87000323) presently located at 49 Putnam Ave is being relocated to an adjacent property 59 Putnam Ave. These lots were originally one lot which was subdivided at a later date. See included site plan(s). The current house is located at Lot “A” and we are proposing to move the house to “building” location on Lot “F”. The proposed location is at the site of the original barn which was demolished in cooperation with the Town of Barnstable in 2017 due to disrepair and safety concerns prior to the current ownership. We are proposing to move the original house without the later ell additions. We would be recommending to bring the structure back to it’s original state. This will be consistent with the Form “B” of the listing for the Ebenezer Crocker Jr House c. 1783 and consistent with the original property. The ell additions are believed to be added in the 1850’s and are not part of the original house or the NRIS listing. The proposed site is a location that is more visible. It is in an adjacent grassy field and will add to the visibility of he property without diminishing the historic relevance as it was originally a single property. The barn was removed in 2017 in cooperation with the Town of Cotuit. The stone walls of the barn were left and would be repurposed as part of the new foundation. The structure would be relocated by a reputable house moving company Gary Sylvester, Gary Sylvester Building Movers and Excavators. This company had been in business for more than 60 years. They were founded by John Sylvester in East Falmouth in 1954 and are one of the most prominent house moving companies on Cape Cod. Before proposing this move we consulted about the feasibility of relocating the existing structure and were informed that it is indeed possible. There has been remedial repairs done throughout the years including a renovation in 2002. This has kept the framing of the existing house in good condition and aids in the stability of the structure. Reason for the Move: The move of the structure is being proposed to create a better connection between the owners existing home on an adjacent property and the outdoor living space. This move will create a better visibility for The Ebenezer Crocker Jr house in the Town making it a more prominent landmark. The current house location is not visible from the street. It is located on a turn and shrouded by trees. The new location is an adjacent grassy field of the same original property where the structure of the original barn once stood. PO Box 6326. Plymouth, MA 02362 . info@archiplicity.com . 508.789.7184 Appropriateness of the New Setting: The new site is adjacent to the existing house location. The property was originally one property and was divided at a later date into separate lots. The move of the house will have no affect on the historical significance of the property as it was originally a singular property. The move is wholly appropriate as the current building location and the proposed were originally the same property. The visibility in the field adds to the visibility of the property as a whole. Effects of the move on the Structure: The move and the new location will have no effect on the historical the integrity of the structure. When consulting the house mover regarding the relocation we were informed that the structure was in good condition and was able to be relocated. Effects of the move on the Archeological or Historic Resources at New Location: The new location is on what was the original property and therefore there is no effect to the archeological significance. We are maintaining the same original homestead in the relocation. Impact on Historic Significance: The Ebenezer Crocker Jr. House will continue to be located on the original property which was historically one and will remain adjacent to the buildings in the original listing ( The Ropes Ice House c 1851 and the Ropes Workshop c. 1855). There is therefore no impact as the listing will remain constituent to the current listing with the joined properties. The building will be moved and relocated on a concrete foundation. We will repurpose stones from the original barn as part of the new foundation. In this regard the building shall still be considered eligible for retaining its National Register Historic status. Please find attached photos, site plan(s)of the current, historic and proposed property locations, and a photographic overview of the relocation.
