One of the best-preserved homes I have seen in Rockport is the John Gott House, an 1806 Federal style property just blocks from Rockport Harbor. The home could be from the 1700s, as the central chimney normally is a feature of earlier homes, but the marker on the house states the 1806 date, so we will go with that! John Gott is a popular name in Rockport, but this home appears to have been built for Captain John Gott (1780-1845), a sea captain who was the son of (you guessed it) John Gott, who lived just down the street. This property also includes a newly built barn and an absolutely charming out-building which I cannot figure out what it was used for.

The barn and outhouse looking building were built in 2017 during a full renovation. The small building is some sort of utility, I forget if it’s a well or something else. I built front retaining wall with Justin Barr while the outbuildings were constructed.
