Why is this called the Jelly House? In the early part of the 20th century, the center Gambrel portion of the house once stood on the ocean side of Rt. 28. During the 1930s and 40s, the right side wing of the house, our current kitchen, was attached to the back of the original store “Buttoners”, located at the corner of Sea St. and Route 28, currently The Port Restaurant. This building was popularly known as the “Jelly House” where jams and jellies were sold to travelers heading down cape. Later, both the Gambrel and the Jelly House were moved to the protected privacy of Helena Avenue.
