The Salt Barn’s History

A Sea Captain’s Barn

In the early 1800s, Sea Captain Uriah Howe built the barn with post-and-beam construction and wood pulled from the Atlantic.

Generations on the Property

The Crowell family owned the home and barn for nearly a century.

An Artist’s Studio

In 1960, Cape Cod artist David Grose purchased the property and turned the barn into a gallery for his work. Art has been part of this building ever since.

A Careful Restoration

In 2008, Bob and Kathy Borsari purchased the property and began an elaborate, historically sensitive three-year renovation. They exposed the original pumpkin pine flooring, restored the post-and-beam structure, and preserved historic details. What started as an art gallery became something more — a warm, elegant venue for intimate events. Borsari Gallery hosted weddings and celebrations here for over 15 year

The Next Chapter

Beginning in 2027, Pelham Hospitality is bringing its planning, culinary, and event team to this space. The name will become The Salt Barn. Same care. New chapter.
