Edward Hopper first visited the Cape in 1930. In 1934, he and his wife, Josephine, built a modest summer house a classic Cape, but for a huge north-facing window. On a sand bluff, the house overlooks nothing but bearberry, broom crowberry, dune grass and an empty stretch of Fisher Beach. Over the decades, as his work developed, Hopper returned each year to this simplicity old wooden houses in an open landscape of beach, heath and woodlot.
