It was moved from Main Street at an unknown date.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a rare, well-preserved 18th-century house in Hyannis with intact Georgian-period architecture. The final review accepted it under Criterion C as a rare surviving Hyannis Cape Cod cottage of about 1710. An earlier draft also cited its link to Ora Hinckley, village librarian for 35 years.","narrative":"This Cape Cod cottage at 151 Pine Street in Hyannis dates to about 1710 and was moved from Main Street at an unknown date. It is a full 1½-story house sheathed in wood shingles, with a gable roof and central chimney. A one-story rear ell, also gabled with its own chimney, extends behind it. The five-bay facade has a center entry framed by simple pilasters, flanked by two windows on each side. Those windows hold 1/1 replacement sash installed in the mid-20th century. The gable ends have two windows on each floor, with small square windows at the sides of the upper story. Well-preserved 18th-century houses are rare in Hyannis, and this one keeps the intact character of its Georgian-period architecture. Late in the 19th century it belonged to S. Alexander Hinckley and his wife Ora. After his death in 1908, she became librarian of the newly relocated Hyannis Library and stayed closely tied to it until she died in 1943. The house was listed for its architecture.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial (Cape Cod cottage, Georgian period)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Present use is residential, condition is excellent, and the house has no outbuildings.
