Hello all,
I did a deep dive into the deed history on 12 Saltworks Lane last night.
Briefly, in 1866 salt -maker Isaiah Crocker sold a large piece of land around and near the
Saltworks Lane area and beyond to salt -maker Isaiah Homer. The works were active then, but
Homer is the one who began to break up the works into residential lots.
was able to find the track with the house standing on that 66' X 165' lot to a piece of property
Isaiah Homer, the Saltmaker, sold to James A. Baker in 1881, so with the house standing, the
house is at least 140 years old, and probably older. I have included all the successive deeds,
which state the lot dimension and house and other buildings standing. The barn on the lot is
old as well.
So Sam you were right when you said it looked older than 1940.
Kind regards,
Bob

Current owners are Virtom Limited Partnership. This is the deed search
for 12 Saltworks Lane, South Yarmouth, MA.
Deed: 19 February 1866 —
Isaiah Crocker in consideration of $850.01 pd. by Isaiah Homer ... a large
parcel northwest of the County Road [in the area now called Saltworks
Lane] containing Saltworks, with privilege of one-half a Mill and
aqueduct to supply water to the Saltworks. (BCRD, Deed Bk. 93:286)
The saltworks were in operation when Isaiah Homer bought the works
from Isaiah Crocker in 1866. Homer ran these and other works, but he
was the transitionary actor that converted all those saltworks lands to
residential. The house at 12 Saltworks lane was built at some point
between February 1866, when there were active saltworks on the
property, and December 1881 where there is a house and lot dimensions
listed on a deed as belonging to James A. Baker, in the next deed below.

and Southerly ten rods; upon which the dwelling house and outbuildings
owned by Henry Baker now stand. The said lot contains one fourth of an
