On our last trip to Provincetown, we really enjoyed looking up our favorite buildings on the fabulous Building Provincetown website. If you're fortunate enought to be visiting the town this summer, be sure to bookmark this site before you go and have fun learning more about the history of the buildings and vessels you'll see around the town.
Here's a screenshot from the entry for Angel Foods in the East End. It was one of many, many addresses we looked up and learned about. Naturally, we checked out all the places where we've rented, shopped, or dined. And, sprinkled throughout are historic photos that we have really enjoyed seeing. (See this entry for 265-267 Commercial Street.)
We could spend many words telling you about this site, but since someone has already done a great job of that in Provincetown Magazine, we'll just link to their piece.
From Alden Street to Young’s Court: A Living History of Provincetown’s Built Environment
A book will follow the website and we can't wait to add it to our collection.
Here are links to Building Provincetown's author David Dunlap's other books.
