It sits on a long lot with 980 feet of frontage on Nantucket Sound.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it one of the few surviving large Shingle Style hotels from the early period of Cape Cod's development as a summer resort area. Its fine architectural design adds to its significance. It is also described as an important reminder of the origins of Cape Cod's tourism industry.","narrative":"Facing Nantucket Sound on Seaview Avenue in Osterville, this large shingled building began as the Cotocheset Hotel, completed in the late 1880s after an earlier hotel on the site burned in 1886. The first hotel dated to 1873 and was part of the Osterville Land Company's plan for a resort community. The 1887 building has a three-story main block, a mansard roof with gambrel cross gables, and two polygonal towers on the street side. The Wianno Club bought it in 1916 and added a one-story wing and a Colonial Revival porch around 1916-1920. The large living hall still holds original wainscoting, a spindle-balustrade stairway and a fireplace. The nomination considers it one of the few surviving large Shingle Style hotels from the early years of Cape Cod's growth as a summer resort. Horace Frazier, an architect of several nearby houses, is believed to have designed it.","period_of_significance":"1887, c. 1916-1920","architect_builder":"Believed to be Horace Frazier (also spelled Fraser/Frazer in the text)","architectural_style":"Shingle Style, with Colonial Revival elements","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied and used as a private club; the form states the Club has made no serious alterations while adding Colonial Revival elements.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:54.388411-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/25/7940/63794025/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/79000325.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79000325/1c8c35e3f8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79000325/1c8c35e3f8-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"John Phelan","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wianno_Club,_Osterville_MA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">John Phelan</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wianno_Club,_Osterville_MA.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"87000316","name":"Wianno Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/massachusetts/wianno-historic-district-87000316/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63794025","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wianno_Club","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7998033"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/barnstable-county/wianno-club-79000325/"}
