Thanks Seth. The legislation that was signed in 1961 was intended to create the Cape Cod National Seashore. It turns out we got a National Park instead. They have very different Mission statements.
By law historic structures are under the final authority of each state's Historic Preservation Commission.
I suggest the Park return all the historic structures it is allowing purposely to be demolished by neglect to the individual towns they are in. From Provinetown to Eastham.
With a severe housing crisis it is not hard to imagine these towns can find ways to allow these historic structures to be restored and repurposed.
Thank you Cape Cod Voice for publicizing the Park's willful destruction of our history!
So sad a beautiful home with an unforgettable view of Nauset marsh where I visited many times with the Whitlocks when we were planning to establish the Nauset Fellowship

Indeed a shame. Should not have happened. Interesting that the Seashore spent a lot of money restoring the Edward Penniman house at Fort Hill.
