Description and history
The oldest portion of this 2-1/2 story timber-frame saltbox is said to date to about 1659, making it one of the oldest buildings on Cape Cod. The saltbox style, although common in other parts of Massachusetts, is also quite rare on the Cape. The house was probably built by Joseph Wing, and was purchased by John Dillingham, a Quaker, in 1667.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 30, 1976.[1] In early 1960s the plaque outside said 1616.
