Description:

The Nickels-Sortwell House was built by Captain William Nickels, a ship owner & trader. The architecture recalls the period when shipbuilding & the maritime trade brought prosperity & sophisticated tastes to the area. However, the Embargo Act of 1807 & the War of 1812 crippled the shipping industry. The house was transformed into a hotel & eventually purchased as a summer home by Alvin Sortwell.
