The Capt. Sylvester Baxter House is a historic house in Barnstable, Massachusetts. The 2+1⁄2-story wood frame Italianate house was built c. 1855 by Captain Sylvester Baxter, a politically prominent local ship's captain. The house exterior has been stuccoed, and the roof is a cross-gable style with a square cupola on top. The eaves of the roof and cupola are studded with decorative brackets. The windows are topped by stilted segmented arches. The front entrance is sheltered by a hip-roofed porch supported by clusters of round columns. [2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. [1]
