Originally built on the #beach, it was the family home of Judge Walter White and his wife Cora, the builders and owners of the #beach front White House Hotel, across the street. Built in the early 1900s to last for generations with materials and craftsmanship too cost prohibitive to use in contemporary homes being built today, it is time and weather tested, withstanding storms for over 100 years, and yet it retains its original pressed, interlocked metal shingle roof! Beneath its old growth wood siding, it is diagonally sheathed in 7/8" inch tongue and groove lumber. "While almost every type of wood is edible for termites.... the denser old growth wood used in houses built around the turn of the century, are all more rot and termite resistant wood than anything available todav."
Built for indoor outdoor living, with 10 exterior doors leading to porches, patios and courtyards. Hot air rises to 10 foot ceilings allowing cooling breezes to circulate throughout the rooms. The #home is quite comfortable throughout the spring and fall without heat or air conditioning. Originally the house was heated with 5 coal grate fireplaces and a circulating hot water radiator system. Either or both could perhaps be resurrected and pressed back into service. The gravity fed water tank remains in the attic, along with the some newer unvented gas heaters and ductwork from a retired upstairs electric central air and heat system. With solar and/or ductless mini split systems
for zone heat and cooling; we will leave decisions on which rooms to include in which zones, depending on the future owners use and preferences.
