Listing Description

The Compass Rose Inn and Tavern Yarmouth Port (Cape Cod)  MA is For Sale

Located on Historic Old King’s Highway, The Compass Rose Inn was constructed in the 1730s. The original structure was a two-story Federal Style Building with a hip roof built by the Josiah Ryder family. Shortly after, it was acquired by Captain Joseph Eldridge, and for the next 100 years it was known as the Eldridge House.

In the 1820s a house in Nantucket was floated over Nantucket Sound and placed on a foundation at the rear of the building. During the 1860s Dr. Azariah Eldridge, then the owner, moved the house and added it to the main structure. At that time he also constructed the third floor with its mansard roof, and the doric portico in the front of the house, giving it the present Victorian look.

Previous owners included U.S. Congressman Thomas Thacher, Charles F. Swift the noted Cape historian, Ella Bray local Yarmouth Port historian, the Simpkins family and Malcolm Perna. In 1988, the Inn was placed on the national register of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior. 

One of the largest Inns on Cape Cod. This historical property sits directly on Old King's Highway/Route 6A in charming Yarmouth Port with 1.23 acres of land.
