  • Scenes from a Lost Hotel: the Cape Codder, 1930-1945 by Norah Schneider, Collections Manager
    Scenes from a Lost Hotel: The Cape Codder, 1930-1945 by Norah Schneider, Collections Manager Most people are familiar with the Cape Codder Hotel in West Falmouth. Opened as the Sippewissett Hotel in 1900 by John C. Haynes on the former site of Richard L. Swift’s sheep farm, over the years it was also called the Cleveland Hotel and the Mayflower Hotel. In 1930, owners Mr. and Mrs. Percival F. Brine renamed it the Cape Codder. When Captain John R. Peterson leased it in 1936—later buying it in 1940—he kept the name, and so it was known until the hotel was torn down to make room for condos in 1988. Well, if those walls could have talked . Fortunately for us, The Enterprise served as the social media of the day, so tales of the Cape Codder still remain today. Police activity at the Cape Codder in July 1936 resulted from two illegal slot machines—one nickel machine and one dime machine. Falmouth police seized the machines and hotel manager Charles Edward pleaded guilty to “possessing gaming implements.”1 The Cape Codder Hotel and its signs became the center of town and state debates in the summer of 1937. In July, Falmouth selectmen would not allow owner John R. Peterson to maintain three signs measuring eighteen square feet and directing traffic to the hotel. A few weeks later, the state Department of Public Works found three signs illegally on Route 28 in Falmouth—two advertising the Cape Codder and one advertising Charlotte Crest campground.2 The Boston Shamrocks, a team in the American Football League and 1936 champions, trained for their season opener at the Cape Codder in 1 “Slot Machines Seized,” Falmouth Enterprise, Thursday, July 16, 1936, 1.
