Gifford Farm (Barnstable, Massachusetts)
The Gifford Farm is a historic farmhouse in Barnstable, Massachusetts. The 1-1/2 story Cape style house was built c. 1850, and is an unusual local instance of a double house. Rather than having five bays, a traditional Cape organization, it has a pair of entrances flanked by pairs of windows. The house was probably built by Russell Hinckley; it was a major social center in the early decades of the 20th century, when it was owned by Lorenzo Gifford.[2]
