It was also the home of significant Westport families, including the Cadmans, Whites and Handys, until 1911.","narrative":"Set at the corner of Hixbridge and Drift Roads in Westport, this eight-bay shingled house grew in three stages: an original section of 1710-1715, a middle addition of 1730-1750, and a Federal-style wing of 1825. The earliest part keeps exposed chamfered framing, while the later sections show Georgian paneling and Federal mantels and trim. Four buildings and two structures, including a well house, privy, shed and garage, remain with it, along with stone walls that mark the old house lot. George Cadman, his descendants the Whites, and later the Handy family, including two physicians, lived here until 1911. Early twentieth-century changes such as dormers and a porch were removed after 1937, when new owners recreated the Georgian door surrounds from photographs. The property is recognized for its architecture, its record of continuous development, and its ties to local families. It also has potential for archaeological discoveries.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1710-1911","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Colonial: Postmedieval; Georgian","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Current function is single-family domestic; the house was restored by its twentieth-century owners, who reversed earlier alterations.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:13:04.708702-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/62/7944/63794462/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/92000831.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92000831/c71ca7e83c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92000831/c71ca7e83c-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Marcbela (Marc N.
