| Introduction |
|
The Revere House is a beautifully restored colonial house located in the heart of Provincetown nestled between Commercial and Bradford Streets. Our guests always fall in love with our common room where one can soak up the sun and relax in comfort, listen to music, or maybe read a new book. It is a great place to socialize and meet others, or to just sit by the fire and keep warm on those cold fall days. Take a step outside to the patio in the private garden and spend the morning enjoying our complimentary continental breakfast including Starbuck's coffee, Tazo tea, orange juice, home baked goodies served with various jams, fresh bagels, English muffins, breads, yogurts, and of course, fresh fruit depending upon the season. |

Just a half block from Spiritus Pizza and right around the corner from the famous Boatslip, the Revere House is one of the most convenient guest houses to all the main attractions and activities Provincetown has to offer. Spend your time as you wish, be it relaxing on the beach, taking a personal shopping spree, visiting art galleries, or dining out. Then, come back from a day of play to spend a relaxing afternoon or evening in our heated spa. After a dinner at one of the town's restaurants followed by entertainment at one of Provincetown's famous shows, bars, and clubs, retire to your awaiting room, suite, or apartment for a night of rest and luxury before the next day's adventure. Walk up to the deck and view the bay or take in panoramic views of the west end of town. The charm and ambience of the nineteenth century prevails throughout all rooms of this historic home. Antique furniture creates an endearing atmosphere, while modern amenities provide the comforts of a true luxury accommodation. |

The Revere House, located at 14 Court Street, is noted on local maps as early as 1836. The house was erected at the height of Provincetown's reign as a thriving fishing port. Thought originally to be built as a Captain's home, the site was owned in 1880 by J. Rogers. A directory for 1886 states Joseph Berry, a fisherman, as the Home's resident. By 1907, the house had changed hands to Mr. A. King. It is now under the proud ownership of Gary A. Palochko, a "New Englander" at heart, born and raised in Connecticut. Since the late 1960's, the house has been operated as an Inn to accommodate the many visitors that come to Provincetown each year to enjoy this small New England town and relax in the classic, charming atmosphere. The Revere House was totally remodeled over the winter of 2004. Throughout its renovation, great care was made to ensure that none of the original historic nineteenth century character was lost. Today, the Revere House offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury that we're sure you'll want to come back to year after year. The Revere House was recently featured on HGTV's "If Walls Could Talk". Hidden treasures from the 1860's found in the walls during renovation give insight into the lives of the original owner. |
| Jackson Rogers owned the house in the 1860s and 1870s. Mr Rogers, along with his wife Mary, immigrated to Provincetown from Fayal, one of the Western Islands in the Azores. For some time, Azoreans had been sailing across the Atlantic to fish the Grand Banks, and their success led ultimately to the immigration of many mariners like Jackson Rogers and countless other Portuguese fishermen to Provincetown and Cape Cod. As the Azoreans like Rogers, were some of the first Portuguese to arrive here, they were usually the Captains of the numerous vessel-fishing boats with crews of about 24-28 men. From the census report of 1870, Jackson and Mary Rogers resided here along with their daughter Jennie (aged 7) who was "attending school" and their two sons Manuel (aged 12) and Joseph (aged 8); both of whom are listed as also having the occupation of "fishing." Their children's presence most likely explains the antique marble discovered along with the other things. |

| You may interested in knowing that Jackson Rogers' native home of Fayal is also known more commonly as the "Blue Island," called that because of the large amounts of hydrangeas that bloom during their summer. Large hydrangea bushes have blossomed in the Revere House's front garden for as far back as anyone can remember, possibly planted by one of the Rogers family members as a reminder of their native island. |
