The circa 1675 Hoxie House in Sandwich is believed to be the oldest surviving house on Cape Cod. It is in many ways representative of the early New England colonial style with its simple, sturdy construction and steeply pitched roof.

I love the simplicity of this house and the lack of foundation plantings in keeping with the original landscape style of the day.

What a beautiful photo. The simplicity and clean lines make this home are wonderful. Thanks for sharing this post.
Interesting how the early colonial is similar to the saltbox.
