Provincetown...the architecture and views

Commercial Street runs the length of Provincetown and all properties are bordered on one side by the harbor. We have about a 3/4 mile walk from the hotel to the main area of town. I love every minute of this walk. I love to look at the architecture, the views, the historical markers, the gardens and the people. I never tire of this and learn something new every time. This year I found the house where Norman Mailer lived until his death. (The property is still owned by Mailer's and assessed for over 3 million....I love the internet.) Ian thinks I'm a stalker...I like to think it's simply curiosity.This was the summer home of artist Robert Motherwell. His studio was on the 3rd floor and his wife's studio was on the 2nd floor. I love the simple lines of the building and I would love to peek inside. I have never seen the drapes drawn.... The house is still owned by the Motherwell family and is assessed for $1,715, 200. Can you believe their tax bill is only $8782 per year?
I am moving!


I would like to live here so I could use this outdoor shower every day. What a view! (for me, not the unsuspecting person walking down the street)
I took many pictures of hedges this year. Ian was captivated by the entrance to this house....

Oh, to have the money to mimic the sea on your Cape Cod siding...

Just another beautiful view in the evening....
I love this parking lot! The best view ever and only $10.00. Whenever we have to drive into P-town we park here.
I want to plant hedges just so Rob can shape them like these outside the Art Museum....

This place is called Bayshore on the Water and actually has 6 studio or 1 bedroom apartments to rent by the week. Beautiful pictures on line, looks well kept with killer views. Only $3295 per week during the high season (August.) Cute little doorway next to the gallery leading to the harbor....
