It’s History
Located on Historic Old King’s Highway, The Compass Rose Inn was constructed in the 1730’s. The original structure was a two story Federal Style Building with a hip roof built by the Josiah Ryder family. Shortly after, it was acquired by Captain Joseph Eldrige, and for the next 100 years it was known as the Eldrige House.
In the 1820’s a house was floated over the Nantucket and placed on a foundation at the rear of the bulding. During the 1860’s Dr. Azariah Eldrige, then the owner, moved the house and added it to the main structure. At that time he also constructed the third floor with its mansard roof, and the doric portico in the front of the house giving it the present Victorian look.
Previous owners included U.S. Congressman Thomas Thacher, Charles F. Swift the noted Cape historian, Ella Bray local Yarmouthport historian, the Simpkins family and Malcolm Perna. In 1988, the Inn was placed on the national register of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the interior. In June of 2017 the Inn was purchased by Andora Hamilton & the Inn became known as the Compass Rose.
