The small town of Sandwich, MA, is located on Cape Cod Bay at the east end of the Cape Cod Canal.
One of the interesting architectural designs in town is this brick church.
Except, it is no longer a church. The building now functions as an inn and bistro
Another repurposed building in Sandwich is the old school house, which now serves as a private home.
This house, built in the Cape Cod style "five over four" - five windows upstairs and four windows downstairs - also features another New England tradition - lap siding on the front and cedar shakes on the sides. Two other facts make this house interesting: 1) it was built in the late 1600's and 2) it is for sale.
Terminology in the American version of the English Language varies by region of the country. In New England, a warning for drivers that the small road they are traveling is coming into a populated area, necessitating reduced speeds and increased caution is: Thickly Settled.
Although New Englanders spell English words the same as the rest of the country, they pronounce them differently. That sought-after water bug is pronounced "Lobstah." By the sign on this barber shop, hair clippers are pronounced in a different manner also.
Beauty and barber shops are creative when selecting a name for their establishments - Northern Exposure, A Cut Above, Curl up and Dye. The list seems endless.
Sandwich: another tiny New England town with interesting places and people.
