The Hammatt House is Gone

A barrier beach is a tough place to live. In Chatham, a colony of dozens of dune homes survived for decades. Some survived the Blizzard of '78 and the "no-name" (Perfect) storm of 1991 (which demolished the house where I now live).

Last year, there were five surviving homes on Chatham's North Beach.

Two days ago there was one, the Hammatt House.................


Now, it is gone. Kudos to all you folks who, knowing you would lose in the end, battled mother nature and accepted the last wave with dignity!
