Dillingham House, First period house in Brewster, Massachusetts.
The Dillingham House features a traditional saltbox design with timber-frame construction, incorporating small-paned windows and characteristic New England architectural elements.
Built by John Dillingham before 1660, this residence underwent substantial modifications between 1915 and 1918, including the addition of a shed dormer and extra rooms.
The interior maintains authentic 17th-century summer beams alongside 18th-century wooden panels, representing different phases of colonial American craftsmanship.
Modern updates to the structure include heating systems, electrical installations, and plumbing fixtures while preserving the original architectural integrity.
The house stands as one of the earliest examples of residential architecture in Massachusetts, with its full saltbox form remaining largely unchanged since colonial times.
