1843 - 1940's: Architectural Shots from Edgartown and Woods Hole




 The Old Whaling Church, above, was built in Edgartown in 1843 as a Methodist Greek Revival display of wealth and success of the fishing and whaling industry of Martha's Vineyard.  It has been preserved in fine fashion and today is open today as a living landmark available for rent; it is no longer a functioning church.


 The tiny gingerbread house on the right is situated in Edgartown, not Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard.  It appears to be a functional dwelling, even  though it does not  measure more  than 10 feet by 12 feet.  1870's?











 The 'Gardiner's Cottage,' above, built by Purcell, Feick and Elmslie on Juniper Point, Woods Hole for Charles R. Crane in 1910.

The 'Airplane House' built for Josephine Crane Bradley by architects Purcell and Elmslie in 1911-1912  on the tip of Juniper Point in Woods Hole.


The 1940's Cape cottage below is where we  stayed near the Steamship Authority ferry dock in Woods Hole.
