4701 Falmouth Road Alvan Crocker Homestead 1769 (ETC Antiques)

This is the second of six houses built by members of the Crocker family at the intersection of Falmouth Road and Main Street. It was built for Alvan Crocker, Sr., the oldest son of Ebenezer Crocker, when he turned 21 years old. Alvan married Sylvia Thatcher, daughter of Rev. Roland Thatcher, and the couple raised eleven children in this home. Like his brothers, Alvan became a well-to-do landowner and farmer.

The house remained in the family until 1972, when it was purchased as a private residence by Anne and Joe Barrett. In addition to calling this historic house ‘home’, the Barretts have their specialty businesses at the property: Joe’s “Buckleworks”, their antique shop “ETC” and their fresh produce stand, with fruits and vegetables from the very land once farmed by Alvan Crocker himself.
