I was directed to this site via the National Trust for Historic Preservation newsletter site. What a great project, on every level. I duly copied the elink on to my sister; we were lucky enough to spend our summers from the early ’50′s through 1970 in Wellfleet, also with a relative who lived on Gull Pond. Sister remembers me begging to drive back from Newcomb Hollow beach, to go by the modern house under construction. That’s why Kugel/Gips looked so familiar, even after all these years, and with the magical recovery of an appropriate rehabilitation. We are both enthused by the arts associated, and would love to be able to apply for a winter slot. We are both artists and plen-aire landscape paint; I pusued architecture specialising in historic preservation/rehabilition practice.
Congratulations on such an aware oraganization for preserving this most invaluable cultural heritage.

That’s the way to do it, all right. Making sense out of time is not easy, making people think about it, less so. You’ve done a brilliant job, and I will continue to follow your work.

Thank you for your information, pictures, “geologist view” o and the kettle pond. I am going to visit the house soon and have been reading about the good work that the team has been doing on the restoration of the home. I appreciate your perspective and additional information of the natural area.

Fascinating, especially about the history of the ice age. Beautiful photographs of the house, love the reflections. I look forward to hearing more.
