HOME
The Revival of Captain Shubael Baxter’s Home By: Linda Davis Listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural significance, this Federal style home was first built in 1829 for schooner Captain Shubael Baxter. Over the course of 179 years, the home has welcomed several owners, had its size increased, and even took on the role of becoming a convent school. Sadly, by the turn of the century, the home fell into significant disrepair and waited patiently for its next phase of life. Finally, in 2008, Martin and Elaine White purchased the home knowing they had a challenge ahead of them. Having already lived in homes that needed remodeling and updating, they took on that challenge of skillfully giving new life to their old Cape Cod home.
