Lisa, Thank you. have been able to do some additional research on the property. According to the National Register listing, the house itself at 331 Union Street ( formerly #31) does not appear to have any historical significance. Mr. Kelley, who spoke at the hearing, expressed concern for the location of the Cooper Shop which would be historically significant. However, according to the attached materials from the Register, the Cooper Shop was at 27 Union Street, not 31 ( now 331) which is our subject property.

Ms. Sherman, represent the owners of 331 Union Street, South Yarmouth. I understand that the Historical Commission will be considering a referral to the Cape Cod Commission regarding the intended 2 I demolition of the house at this address, because it is located within the Bass River Historic District of the National Register. I would appreciate your sending such correspondence to me, rather than the Trust that owns the property, if possible, or at least copy me on all such correspondence. Thank you. David S.

Additionally, other dwellings were updated with Craftsman elements. The David Sears House, 214 Main Street (ca. 1870; #45-A-9) is a vernacular three -bay cottage built on traditional lines; of special interest are its early 20th century features including pergola porch and window sash with narrow vertical panes over single panes. Another interesting remodeling is 87 Main Street (ca. 1860; #36-J-4), which appears to have originated as a Greek Revival sidehall. It now sports a towered Queen Anne bay and a Craftsman wing with overshot. verandah and fieldstone chimney. In addition to its fine collection of residences, the district also includes a small number of institutional and commercial structures. The most prominent are its three churches. The Friend's Meeting House, 58 North Main Street (1809; #53-L-8; photo #1), is an austere l 1/2-story, clapboard --clad building closely associated with the earliest history of the district. Separate male and female entrances that face onto the adjoining cemetery are accentuated by a flushboarded portico. The Bass River Community Baptist Church, 88 Main Street. (1826; #44-T-12; photo #12), stands at, the opposite west_ end of the district, and is also accompanied by a cemetery; the entire property is encircled by a granite post and iron rail fence. The building itself is a simple 1 1/2-story structure with entrance and steeple situated on the gable end; much of its original character has unfortunately been hidden under recently applied artificial siding. The South Yarmouth Methodist Church, 322 Main Street_ (1852; #53-U-4), is located near the intersection of Bridge and Main Streets. It is a 2 1/2-story clapboard structure with entrance and steeple centered on the gable end. It features Creek Revival details, including four paneled pilasters supporting the pediment/gable and three-part windows. Like most 19th century communities, the village of South Yarmouth originally had many more commercial activities than at. present_. Despite their small numbers, the remaining buildings are varied in original date and use. One of the most prominent is the 2 1/2-story Standish Opera House, 250 Main Street (ca. 1875; #45-B-3), which has been vacant and boarded up for many years. It faces gable end to the street and features a Greek Revival porch with fluted Doric columns, an Italianate bracketed cornice, and a band of Queen Anne decorative shingles. The former Bass River Savings Bank, 1368 Bridge Street. (ca. 1870; #53-Z-14), is an important anchor in this part_ of the district. It is a two-story structure enclosed by a hip roof with Italianata brackets and fronted by a porch with elaborate carved posts, brackets, and valance. Substantially simpler, and more typical, are the former Cooper Shop, 27 Union Street (ca. 1840; #53-Z-8), and Blind Reuben's Store, 146 Main Street ca. 1860; #44-W-1; photo #18). Borl are one-story shingled structures, and Reuben's Store, which remains in commercial use as a carpenter shop, retains its gable -end entrance flanked by display windows that may date to the early 20th century.
