Built in 1840, this home was built by Dr. Jonathan Leonard II. Note the entry way on the side for visiting patients as well as the front and rear entrances for guests and family. He sold this house in 1861 to Isaiah Jones, who owned a tack factory on Shawme Pond. In the late 1880's he became active in cranberry growing and was an officer with the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers Association. It is now a wonderful Victorian B&B with luxury suite accommodations in what used to be the barn on the rear of the property.
This home is another representative example of Italianate archictecture, with it's asymmetrical plan and pedimented two-on-two windows.
