Blish-Garret House

The Blish-Garret House is a historic house located in Barnstable, Massachusetts.

Description and history

This 1+12-story Cape style house was built c. 1760, and is a rare well-preserved instance of a Georgian colonial period Cape. It is slightly unusual in that it is a half-house, only three bays wide, which was never widened to the typical five bays. The main entry is simply framed, with a transom window. The first documented owner was Jonathan Blish; it was later owned by Andrew Garrett, for whom Garrett Pond is named.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
