It was originally a dwelling and now serves as medical offices.","why_significant":"The house is significant as a fine example of Federal period domestic architecture and for its link to Barnstable's 19th century maritime history through early owner Captain Timothy Baker. It is also tied to Dr. Edward Francis Gleason, founding physician of nearby Cape Cod Hospital. The final review accepted it under criteria A and C.","narrative":"Built around 1790, this clapboard house at 88 Lewis Bay Road in Hyannis is a two-story Federal style dwelling on an L-plan, covered by intersecting hip roofs with interior chimneys. The centered entry on the five-bay facade has three-quarter sidelights, an elliptical fan and a one-story Tuscan porch, while corner quoins and a dentilated cornice add detail. The windows hold replacement two-over-one sash dating from about 1900. The first known owner was Captain Timothy Baker, a master of coastal vessels, who appears on maps and atlases from 1835 to 1858; his heirs held it in 1880, and by 1907 it was listed as the J. Hallett Estate. Its most notable owner was Dr. Edward Francis Gleason (1868-1944), the founding physician of Cape Cod Hospital next door. The house was listed for its architecture and its connection to Barnstable's nineteenth-century maritime history. It now houses medical offices in a mixed commercial and residential setting.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Federal","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Condition good; present use is medical offices; originally a dwelling.
