Exterior details have been thought of as well, from the enticing lounge chairs on the veranda, vast lawns with comfortable lawn furniture, and a bike wrap to store your bicycle (or rented bike from the Corner Cycle).

History of Our Cape Cod Inn

Discover this stately home with graceful accommodations listed on the National Historic Register of Historic Places under the name of Mostly Hall. The story behind the interesting name of Mostly Hall is that a young boy visiting the home in the late 1800’s with his mother said “Look Ma it’s mostly hall”.

The Captain’s Manor Inn was the first summer home built in Falmouth, Massachusetts in 1849. The Inn was built by Albert Nye. Albert had grown up in Falmouth as the son of William Nye Sr. William was very active in Falmouth as a businessman who went on to the positions of town clerk, town treasurer and selectman for 21 years.

Albert was a sea captain who built his wealth down in New Orleans as a merchant and then came back to the Cape and his shipping business. Albert had a bit of a romantic streak in him as he built The Captain’s Manor Inn in 1849 as a wedding gift for his bride Henrietta Forbes. The style of the home was Southern plantation with Greek revival accents and was designed to make Henrietta feel the spirit of New Orleans. The property is very unique and is often cited as the only house of such a style on the Cape.
