The Packet Mail House situated on 6A in Barnstable, Massachusetts was built by Matthias Hinckley in 1829. Hinckley was a master of the Packet Mail ship that sailed from Barnstable to Boston transporting goods, packages and mail to and from the Cape. Today, the property is one of the few remaining homes in Barnstable that is still owned by descendants.

The craftsmen at Seaport Shutter Company manufactured custom traditional louvered historic shutters to replicate what was once on the home in the 1800’s.
