The Barn that currently houses the Borsari Gallery was originally built in the early 1800's by Sea Captain Uriah Howe. The first use of the barn was to serve as a commercial Abattoir for Cape Cod and the surrounding areas. Both the Sea Captain's home and abattoir were then owned by the Crowell family for nearly a century; until 1960 when it was purchased by Cape Cod local artist David Grose and used to showcase his art. In 2008 Bob and Kathy Borsari purchased the property and began an elaborate & historically sensitive 3 year transformation. Every effort was made to meticulously restore the post and beam structure back to its original New England rustic beauty.
