Description
The town of Oak Bluffs on Marthas Vineyard is home to a cluster of fairy like wooden cottages known as the Gingerbread Cottages. The architectural form is unique and dates back to the mid 19th century when it was considered to be an invention of local carpenters. In the late 1800s, Methodists gathered in Oak Bluffs each summer for religious meetings. As the years went by, they began erecting petite wooden houses instead of tents, and started to try to outdo each other in how ornate they could make each cottage. The style they perfected is now known as Carpenters Gothic.
