The building adopts a rectangular plan on a concrete pier foundation. The three-by-two bay building faces south and is back approximately ten feet from the west side of Summerbell Avenue. The building terminates in a hipped roof sheathed with asphalt shingles. Typical of the style, the cottage features wide overhanging eaves and exposed rafters. An interior brick chimney pierces the west roof plane. The residence is clad with wood shingles. A full-width deck is located along the front façade of the building. Wood stairs on the east end of the deck provides access to the deck. Entrance to the building is through a multi-light wood door. The opening is highlighted by a simple wood surround. Paired 2/2 double-hung wood sash windows are located to each side of the opening. HISTORICAL NARRATIVE Discuss the history of the building. Explain its associations with local (or state) history. Include uses of the building, and the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community. In 1871 The New England Convention of the Christian Church purchased and established a camp meeting known as Camp Christian on the 160 acre Perry Farm in Centerville. In 1872 the Christian Camp Meeting Association (CMMA) was established with the purpose: “to hold and encourage others to hold religious services.” Camp Christian was rena med Craigville in 1881 in honor of the life and ministry of Dr. J. Austin Craig, a prominent leader of the Christian Church (Christian Camp Meeting Association Brochure). Situated on a bluff overlooking Nantucket Sound, with the Centerville River to the west and Lake Elizabeth and Red Lilly Pond on the east, it served as a spectacular spot for a retreat from everyday life. Families were able to buy or lease the 288 small lots, with clergy getting theirs free. They initially erected tents or built small shelters, and as time and means allowed, small cottages were constructed. Today, the area is densely developed, with many cottages occupied year round. Craigville attracts a variety of visitors, both religious and secular, to its Conference Center throughout the year, one being the Cape Cod Writers’ Center Annual Workshop. The conference Center is owned by the Christina Camp Meeting Association and managed by the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ 57 Summerbell Avenue (BRN-2339) appears to have been constructed c 1920 by Herbert L. Stone after purchasing a lot from Christian Camp Meeting Association. The property remained in the Stone family until 1965 when the property was sold by F. Bradford Stone of Long Beach CA, and Constance S. Bigelow of Larchmont, NY. The property was purchased by Pierce Dupont Vuilleumier and his wife, Marion R. Vuilleumier. The property is currently owned by Michael and Kathleen Power.
