The Blish-Garret House is a historic house located in Barnstable, Massachusetts.
Description and history
[edit]This 1+1⁄2-story Cape style house was built c. 1760, and is a rare well-preserved instance of a Georgian colonial period Cape. It is slightly unusual in that it is a half-house, only three bays wide, which was never widened to the typical five bays. The main entry is simply framed, with a transom window. The first documented owner was Jonathan Blish; it was later owned by Andrew Garrett, for whom Garrett Pond is named.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
