The Port Royal House in Chatham, Massachusetts, is a historic two-story wood-frame house built in 1863 by ship's captain Seth Eldredge. Inspired by a house in Port Royal, Jamaica, Captain Eldredge had the Italianate villa meticulously recreated, featuring a distinctive low-pitch hip roof, decorative eaves, and a charming single-story porch.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 15, 1982, the Port Royal House showcases exquisite architectural details such as paired brackets, paneled pilasters, and fluted columns supporting the front porch. This well-preserved gem offers visitors a glimpse into the rich maritime history of Chatham, making it a must-see destination for history enthusiasts and architecture aficionados alike.
