Marion (Old Rochester) is one of the oldest towns in the United States, and the Sippican Historical Society maintains an extensive collection of documentation on its historic buildings. In 1998, the Sippican Historical Society commissioned an architectural survey of Marion’s historic homes and buildings. Over 100 were cataloged and photographed. SHS will feature one building a week so that the residents of Marion can understand more about its unique historical architecture.
This week we feature 12 Cross Neck Road. The Shingle-style residence at 12 Cross Neck Road was built for, and probably by, the carpenter Thomas Hartigan before 1903. Hartigan’s widow lived here until at least 1916.
