The Capt. William Hallett House is a historic house in the Hyannis village of Barnstable, Massachusetts, USA.

Description and history

This 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built c. 1800, and exhibits a distinctive combination of Federal and Queen Anne styling. While its basic form is that of a Federal-style Cape, it was altered in the late 19th century, adding a shed-roof dormer with an eyebrow section, a porch with turned posts, and a projecting window bay. In the mid-19th century the house belonged to William Hallett, a ship's captain, and around the turn of the 20th century by Dr. Charles Harris, a noted local physician and author of Hyannis Sea Captains. ^[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1987. ^[1]
