Where in Eastham? - Quiz #4 - The Answer Is....

Last week I published the image (right) of a yellow structure that should be fairly familiar to most Eastham folks. It was the Chapel in the Pines, on Samoset Rd. The Chapel, sometimes known as the First Encounter Coffeehouse, sits next to the Eastham library. The Chapel has been a Universalist (now Unitarian-Universalist) Church since it was dedicated in January 1890. Their website, with an extensive history of the Chapel, is here.

The picture is actually a painting by Edward Hopper, done in 1935, known as "Church in Eastham". It hangs in the Whitney Museum, in New York.

Edward Hopper's Cape Cod

The Washington Post, a few weeks ago, ran a wonderful article about the reclusive Edward Hopper's life and art of the Outer Cape. Edward and his wife, Jo, lived in Greenwich Village in the winter and in Truro in the summers (for over 30 years). Edward's paintings of the Outer Cape include many from Eastham, Wellfleet and Truro. Read the article ... Here. Also, don't miss the photo slideshow that accompanies this article. The picture (right) is Hopper's painting of Corn Hill in Truro.
