The Merrill Estate is a historic estate in the Marstons Mills section of Barnstable, Massachusetts. The estate house started as a 1+1⁄2-story Cape style house, with five bays and a large central chimney, built c. 1750–1775. This Georgian structure was extended in the middle of the 19th century with a 1+1⁄2-story Greek Revival ell that was added to the front of the house. The property includes an old English barn.[2]
The early ownership history of this property is not none because a fire at the county courthouse in 1827 destroyed those records. The earliest surviving record records the sale of the house between two ship captains. William Sturgis, the buyer, was a noted local philanthropist, funding Barnstable's first library. The house was owned by members of the Merrill family as a summer estate from 1889.[2]
The estate was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987,[1] cited as a well-preserved local example of a Georgian colonial house with Greek Revival alterations.[2]
