Dr. Edward Francis Gleason House
The Dr. Edward Francis Gleason House is a historic house at 88 Lewis Bay Road in Barnstable, Massachusetts.The two story wood frame house was built c. 1790, and is a fine local example of Federal styling. It has an L shape, with intersecting hip roofs, and two interior chimneys. The main entry is centered on the five-bay front facade, and is elaborately framed with sidelight windows and a fanlight, and is sheltered by a portico with Tuscan columns. The house is notable for its association with Dr. Edward Francis Gleason, founder of Cape Cod Hospital, and for its ownership by Timothy Baker, a ship's captain engaged in the coasting trade.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1987.
