Paper House

The Old Castle is a historic First Period house located on Castle Lane in Rockport, Massachusetts. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was probably built c. 1712 by Jethro Wheeler, in whose family it remained for six generations. It was sold out of the family in 1893 to Henry F. Story, and given to the Pigeon Cove Village Improvement Society in 1929. The house underwent some restoration at that time, and is now open during the summer as a historic house museum, operated by the Sandy Bay Historical Society. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

The Old Garrison House is a First Period house in Rockport, Massachusetts that has been dated through dendrochronology to at least 1711. This house is primarily constructed of tamarack (aka "eastern larch") logs. An ell was added onto the rear of the house in the late 18th century, and a shed-like wing was added to the west rear in the 19th century. Later in the 19th century a single story kitchen wing was added onto the ell.Dating the house through dendrochronology was only able to produce one usable core sample which was extracted from a log to the left-hand end of the building. Efforts to obtain more samples for dates were unsuccessful due to where the logs are placed and their condition. Local histories suggest that the house may in fact be older than attested. Possibilities include the house being built as early as 1675, and at one point belonging to Elizabeth Proctor. The latter of the two is better known today as having been accused in the Salem witch trials. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.

The Old Rockport High School, now the Rockport Community House, is a historic school building at 58 Broadway in Rockport, Massachusetts. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame building was built in 1865, with Italianate styling, and served as the town's first public high school until 1926. Three years later it was reopened as a community center, a role it continues to fulfil today.The main portion of the building is a rectangular block that is minimally styled in with nominally Italianate features, such as a gable end returns and corner trim. The front facade originally had two separate entrances (one for boys, one for girls), but these have been replaced by windows. There is a two-story addition on the side of the building, and two further additions on the rear, all added in the 19th century. The main entrance to the building is now made through the side addition. The interior is dominated by decorative features that date to c. 1900. The first floor front classroom still contains a number of details from that time, including wooden floors, benches, and blackboards, although the latter have been covered over.The building when first built was only a single story. Due to growing enrollment, the building was raised in 1869 and a new first floor built. In 1890 the school was again increased in size, adding the first of the rear additions to accommodate more students as well as labs for chemistry and physics, although adequate facilities for those classes were not added until 1908. The side addition was added in 1900 to provide a stairway, making additional room in the main part of the building. Continued overcrowding and issues with the age and inadequacy of its physical plant led to the construction of a new high school in 1926.The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
