The Cadman-White-Handy House, also known as the Handy House, is a historic house at 202 Hixbridge Road in Westport, Massachusetts. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was probably built in three stages, beginning c. 1710. It was expanded c. 1730-50 and again in 1825. The building interior has preserved elements from all three periods of constructions, despite restylings during the 18th and 19th centuries.[2]
The house is owned by the Westport Historical Society and operated as a historic house museum.[3] It is mostly unfurnished, and visitors are able to examine the 18th and 19th-century building techniques and decorative elements.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
