102 Bradford St

Historic District Survey information for 102 Bradford St

Architectural Description: This is a 2-story, 5-bay center entry house with large 6/6 DHS windows. An addition on the rear is clad in wood shingles. Doors on the side facade has hipped roofed hoods with supporting knee braces reflecting the Italianate style. Windows have simple wood trim. This building is a reconstruction of an earlier building, which had wood shingle siding, more pronounced window moldings and operable shutters.

Historical Narrative: As per Tom Boland (1994): 102 Bradford Street is first noted on the 1836 map of Provincetown. By 1858, it is indicated that the owner in N.P. Freeman. 102A shown as a smaller structure in the 1880 atlas, does not have a name ascribed to it until 1907 when Mrs. James B. Cobb is listed as the resident. Although different stylistically, these two houses serve as an excellent example of how building lots were crowded with second and sometimes third structures throughout the 19th century.
