Description and history

The Hallett House is set at the northeast corner of Main and Camp Streets in the village of Hyannis. It is a 1-1/2 story Cape style house, five bays wide, with a side gable roof, a central chimney (not original), and wood shingle siding. An ell of early construction extends to the rear of the main block, while a modern but sympathetically-styled addition extends the house three bays to the left. The main entrance is centered on the original block, with simple pilasters on either side and a narrow transom window above.[2]

Construction of the house is estimated to have been in about 1775, but nothing is known of its early owners. It was owned by Seth Hallett, a town selectman, in the mid-19th century.[2] It presently houses a medical practice.
