Nestled on the charming Old Harbor Road in Chatham, the Moses Nickerson House stands as a testament to the rich history of Cape Cod. Built in 1839 by the renowned architect Timothy Loveland, this exquisite residence features a sturdy brick foundation supporting two stories crowned with a classic gable roof. The house's windows, with their old-fashioned bevel projecting frames, add to its historic allure, mirroring the architectural style of Loveland’s other creations, including the house directly across the street.

The house was commissioned for Captain Moses Nickerson, a prominent figure in the maritime history of Cape Cod. Born in 1812, Moses was a sea captain, likely involved in the fishing or whaling industries, crucial to the region's economy at the time. His life at sea was filled with the challenges and adventures typical of maritime life during that era. After being widowed by his first wife, Margaret Harding, in 1838, he led a family-oriented life with his second wife, Sarah Eldridge. Together, they endured the heartbreak of losing four of their six children in infancy. Despite these tragedies, their home remained a center of family and resilience.

Today, the Moses Nickerson House not only preserves the architectural vision of Timothy Loveland but also embodies the spirit and history of the Nickerson family's legacy. This historic home invites visitors to step back in time and experience the enduring charm of Cape Cod at Lost Horizons Cape Cod, where it remains a vital part of the region's rich cultural heritage.
