It's no secret that The Pink House is widely loved by this region - and in the time we have worked so hard behind the scenes with owners the US Fish and Wildlife Service to secure a solution for refurbishment under a perpetual preservation restriction, awareness has only grown. The message is, The Pink House is here to stay. It's YOU - The Pink House supporters - who nominated it in 2022 and 2023, and who voted for it to win the Best of The North Shore award both years.
THANK YOU for being a tangible show of how many still love and believe in the house. And for reminding us that the people on whose behalf Support The Pink House formed and has given countless hours volunteering for in our endless journey toward a solution, are still there. . It has been a long journey as we have worked without fail for over 7 years on solution after solution, talking to everyone, doing everything asked of us by Fish and Widlife, by politicians, and land swap organizations... and when things changed or fell through at the 11th hour, as they have we just kept looking for the next solution, kept everyone else going till we could try again... because we remembered we were fighting for you. Because of all of you that we never gave up! The town of Newbury, in which The Pink House sits, is preparing for its second annual Newbury Town Day. It's a day packed with fun activities, to highlight for visitors and residents alike all there is to do in Newbury, MA! This year, there will be two hubs of activity - one centering around the Spencer Pierce Little Farm, the other on Plum Island. Support The Pink House wanted to find a way to participate, so we went to each charming establishment, on the island ask them to participate, making a special Pink House themed activity or offer of drink, food or merchandise. These businesses greet you when you first come on the island, and are owned by locals, most of whom are Newbury residents, so they all jumped on board! Newly is a wonderful town, and everyone is willing to pitch in to make it a great day for YOU!

Good Day and Happy Summer! After expressing our gratitude on Memorial Day, the Pink House is excited for the return of old friends, artists and another new generation of supporters. This is the season of light. The greenery of the marsh intensifies. Spectacular sunrises and golden sunsets illuminate our community's Pink prize. The Pink House inspires paintings, photos and poetry, smiles with our friends, visits from parents with their children, continuing the tradition their own parents did with them, which is only one reason why the house holds such meaning for so many! It's a New England tradition to drive past The Pink House and show it some love as Support the Pink House awaits the FWS's part of the solution to restore the house. As a STPH volunteer, I thank everyone for the upcoming affection of our iconic house in the Summer of 2023! Please know that your friends at STPH has been busy exploring new possibilities to preserve The Pink House for generations to come. The parties involved are still engaged in regular productive dialogue and meetings; we hope to have updates to share in the near future.

"When you see that silhouette, you know were you are" has become a popular tagline for The Pink House. All these years, our work on behalf of the community has been focused on preserving that iconic silhouette, so that it is never built into a mansion, torn down or made into another structure. The front three sides seen from the street as well as the roofline and cupola all define that silhouette, but no one sees the back! There are hints when driving the Plum Island turnpike of what once was a wood deck on the west corner. With all the vegetation, it's more difficult to make out much on the east corner, but it is a long shed, that once served as place for a single car. Between them is a laundry/mudroom that has a door out to the car shed. While drone footage is prohibited, a pilot flying over snapped this photo and sent it to us. What an incredible shot of the area. So many forget that there are many houses nestled into the marsh and farmland nearby. The Pink House is so special, because it appears to be the only one on that side. Restoration of The Pink House, as written into our MHC approved perpetual Preservation Restriction, would include clearing the T-shaped shed on the East side, and the wood deck which has been overcome by brambles on the west, both now pretty much unusable for any future occupant.
The perpetual Preservation Restriction we have been working to put in place will preserve the exterior of The Pink House as we all know and see it from the front and two sides. But even our preservation consultants agree that to keep the integrity of the house, the back area needs to be cleaned up in the form of a neat, squared off back would allow approximately the same square footage to become useful space, and built as soundly as the rest of the house. The architectural drawings and elevations needed to create the Preservation Restriction, which include the plan to neaten up the back and repurpose the square footage, were also approved by the Newbury Conservation Comission. It is nice to know what the work we all have put in has been assessed and cleared by key state and municipal agencies. As we approach The Pink House's 100th birthday in 2025, we hope that our work in agreement with the owners, the US Fish and Wildlife, will lead to a successful restoration. The Pink House won Best of the North Shore (BONS) Most Instagrammable Spot! And if you've got an account on IG, you'll know just how many photos you can find of The Pink House or people taking selfies in front of it. We can't thank everyone who loves this house enough for voting for it to show how important The Pink House is to this region. So much so that Support the Pink House formed in response to the community's overwhelming desire to see the house stay standing and be refurbished. It makes all the years and hard work we've put into it so worth it! Since Support the Pink House has been working in collaboration with the owners, the US FIsh and Wildlife Service, to save the house and help it get restored under a perpetual preservation restriction, the house's iconic stature has exploded! It is globally recognized, thanks to both media coverage of our work, and the "spite house" rumor that has been picked up by so many digital sources. If you read our history page you'll see that STPH's deep dive into factual records has disproved the details of the urban legend.. and revealed the truly interesting story behind the house and it's owners. And yet, we appreciate the legend for the attention it continues to bring to The Pink House. In addition, being listed on Trip Advisor, the Essex Coastal Scenic Byway, Google Maps, Wikipedia etc... more and more people drive out to see the house, photograph or paint it, and then go on to shop, eat and even stay in the area. Hence former Chamber President, Frank Cousins Jr.'s, comment that the house is an economic driver to the area, especially helpful in the off season. The pandemic added The Pink House to the destination list for people from all over New England who were needing to get out and have some focal point to aim for when they took drives (or walks, bike rides, and paddles). This is not the only time The Pink House won a contest through North Shore Magazine. Back when the story of the house and the effort to keep it standing for the sake of the community was a feature story in the magazine, they decided to do a cover contest. While both were wonderful choices, The Pink House won!
In announcing the winner, Northshore Magazine said: "We asked you which April cover you loved more…and the winner is: the scenic landscape cover featuring Plum Island’s Pink House!" Many comments included with the votes for The Pink House we're listed in North Shore Magazine. They show just how much the iconic house means to this community. Take a look at a sample: The Pink House is unique to the North Shore. It has drawn photographers and artists from across the country. Having it on the cover of your magazine would go a long way towards saving this iconic structure. I grew up in the Pink House – from the early sixties – and have fond memories of it. My play area was in the cupola. I am so pleased that it is finally being recognized as a landmark. We love Plum Island and it wouldn’t be the same when we drive onto the island if the Pink House was no longer there! Hopefully this cover will draw attention to this issue! Thank you so much! The Pink House is an institution, a part of Plum Island folklore and landscape that simply cannot be replicated! Well, let’s see…I live in Newbury and love the antiquity and charm of an old pink house that seemingly “comes with the landscape” of the drive to Plum Island…AND…particularly because being on the cover of your popular and first rate magazine might help to make a strong statement towards the authorities not tearing it down which is heavily being considered… that would be so sad as it’s a lovely eccentric statement of old New England. Iconic house. This house actually adds interest to the marsh around it. Old houses tell stories and I would hate to see this story end. We must preserve this iconic North Shore landmark. I drive by the pink house a lot and just love how it just sits on that area on plum island surrounded by all the beauty of the marshes around it. I fully enjoyed your article on the pink house I learned a lot. I believe that nature gives us such beauty all around us and we are so busy we do it stop and fully open our eyes to it. Some people would say this is a broken eye sore, I see the beauty of it and imagine who lived there and the life that house had seen. As an avid runner and lover of all things historic in Newburyport, I first fell in love with the pink house 6 years ago on a run from my house out to Plum Island. I reach it at mile 2 and just the essence of it keeps me smiling and running along beside it! Depending on the time of day, it can look so different. If I’m doing a long run, I’m lucky to see it twice!….Once on the way out, then again on the way back. It’s a beautiful sight to behold. I’m grateful to live nearby and to see this historic home in all its majesty. I find myself creating stories in my head as I run, about the people who lived there and maybe some wonderful parties they had! Thanks to all those who are trying to save it!! AND Thank YOU at Northshore Magazine for giving this old beauty time on your cover!! This image has become an icon depicting a unique charm and narrative and sense of place and holds the potential of becoming a mirage for many of us d/t the uncertainty of its future. This old pink house sits alone in her aged, tattered splendor, home only to a snowy white owl who knows her stories. She no longer tries to impress and her only beauty comes from having absorbed years of sunset wisdom that radiates to all even on the gloomiest of days. We should do so well! And the photographer has captured the essence of this iconic Plum Island house. Saving this house is important right now. The other things, while lovely, are not urgent. Because word needs to get out about the pink house and we must all do what we can to save it! I think the Plum Island landmark is iconic. Reminds me of all that is beautiful in the North Shore. It’s visually more captivating and, as a native of the area, I know this landmark to be iconic and will certainly capture the attention of a broader audience (both male and female). I LOVE the pink house. I can’t wait to read the article- I’ve been driving past it for years wondering what the story was with this house. Plum Island is my closest “get away” location- and just crossing the bridge always gives my spirit a lift. And there is the pink house surrounded by big marsh and big sky. I have loved this house. My family lived in Newburyport for several years and went to Plum Island often. Every time I saw the house it made me feel happy. Every time I pass this beautiful old house on my way to Plum Island, it makes me think of a peaceful time gone by. Besides being an incredibly gorgeous photograph, the Pink House is near to my heart and home as a year round artist and resident of Plum Island. It’s a much more meaningful & appealing cover shot & story. I live in Newburyport but love Plum Island. It’s a very special place for me, and often drive by the pink house, and often wonder what will happen to the house, I’d like to learn more. We travel to our daughter’s home on Plum Island frequently and pass the Pink House. It’s an iconic treasure that should not be allowed to deteriorate. We often imagine the many years the house was active with people enjoying the beautiful sunsets. As a cover, beautiful scenery is always more eye catching in my personal opinion. Plus it will attract more attention to the pink house’s plight! Its quite a striking cover, with beautiful colors. And also I particularly feel really strongly about saving the pink house, which is such an iconic emblem as you approach Plum Island. I have been looking at this magical pink house on the way to Plum Island ever since I was a little girl. It is a landmark and means summertime to me. I can’t imagine going to the island and not seeing it there. It is a very timely cover as this icon is big news in Newburyport and on the North Shore = the other cover is also nice maybe a bit too eclectic. Seeing The Pink House on the road to Plum Island means we are almost there - closer to Heaven. It’s a beautiful photo with a real cause behind it. That house is a landmark! I, myself have taken many photos of the pink house. Its a favorite to all photographers, and paintings. Ties in both PI and Newburyport; evocative of childhood memories for many. The Pink House is an icon and a more unique artistic symbol. I was born and raised in NBPT, close to the pink house. Beautiful and eerie all the same. I grew up riding by the Pink House every day on the school bus and now one of my school mates, Betsy, takes pictures of a snowy owl that roosts there! Everyone who’s ever driven past that house loves it. Big supporter of saving the Pink House & think the exposure would help the cause. The Newbury Pink House really represents the combination of Arts & Culture tied in distinctively with the North Shore. It is a beautiful landmark of Plum Island. I have loved visiting Plum Island for years and while I hope the Pink House will be saved I think it will be a difficult fight. I did not know the history of the house and now have made a point to learn more about the Spite homes. I like both photos but LOVE the Pink House. LOVE the pink house! Iconic image, house at the gateway to Plum Island. In danger of being lost forever…. The colors in this photo are breathtaking, along with the fact that this would be such a great cause if it were on the cover! This house makes the photo so unique, it certainly shouldn’t be taken down! Love B. It is a house I look for every night on my way home to Plum Island. It is like having a real celebrity on the Island. Not to be missed! I live on Plum Island and I love this house. It is such a landmark heading out to the island. I hope they figure out something to do with it- and NOT tear it down. I love this house and the photo is breath taking. Also, there is some concern that this house will be taken down and then you would not be able to capture such a beautiful scene. I absolutely love this house and numerous photos I’ve seen captured in different times of day and different structure poses. To let your readers know of a topic like saving the pink house will bring literary interest and more value to your magazine instead of what I always hear they see it as (a cover for selling advertisements). B helps inform readers about saving a Plum Island landmark. The photo is stunning as well. This house is an icon in the North Shore area and it’s being threatened! I want to see this current local issue regarding this historic focal point in Massachusetts get some positive exposure! I grew up on plum island and passed the “pink house” every day. Such a gateway landmark. Let’s save it. I think that having such a historic and loved piece of landscape on the cover is much more fitting than option A. Option B is a much more personal thing for the people of the North Shore. Also since there has been talk to tear down that pink house it seems even more fitting to immortalize it with a cover! The Pink House is an icon. It’s stood so many years, and in the perfect light still looks like a lovely house. It’s nice to think of “her” still being beautiful. Visually cleaner and more arresting. Specific to North Shore. Cultural landmark on the way to Plum Island. Save the Pink House! It’s a great cause, a great story. The Pink House hands down! Always place on the cover of Northshore magazine something that is iconic of the area! Everyone loves that pink house! The Pink House is often called The Plum Island Pink House and is considered the welcoming ambassador to the island, even as it sits on the mainland just before the bridge you cross to see the colorful wood-carved "Welcome to Plum Island" sign. To Plum Island merchants, who bring such charm and allure to this very special part of the region, The Pink House is their neighbor, and said YES across the board when it came to displaying their support of the effort to save and restore the house. That is much to the appreciation of the regular customers who share that desire. And it's a way to communicate to the many visitors who come out to see The Pink House and continue on to eat, drink and shop at at these businesses, just how warm and supportive this special area is! The window clings sport the same iconic Pink House logo created in 2016 by artist and PH Steering Committee Member Eric Hoover that you may see on cars, scooters, skateboards, laptops and tee shirts around Essex County. It can be a little tricky to photograph the building and signs with the front-and-center placement of the PH cling on their glass, but it can be as fun to spot them in our pics as... Wordle! Being their neighbors and customers too, we sure do appreciate this incredible show of solidarity. Please DO spread the word, come on out, give them your business, and let them know you think that kind of community effort is pretty awesome. The Cottage has a fantastic selection of icy craft beers, wines, and liquors, snacks, and gifts - with some gourmet items just right for your picnic basket enroute to the beach. Get freshly scooped ice cream out the front window, shop for great suits, lotions, hats, around back where you can also rent a SUP! The Plum Island Kitchen, owned and run by the Dempsey Family. David Dempsey is a founding Member of STPH. Besides amazing homemade food to stay or go, Dave gave local artists a space to sell their work (some of it Pink House themed) under a fantastic PI mural featuring The Pink House, t's now up for sale... if you know someone who would take on and continue the love! Visit our list of all the merchants who Support The Pink House and please be sure to give them your business!
In order for The Pink House to get its own acre+ lot, it was necessary to go through the process of an ANR and approvals by the Newbury Planning Board and the Zoning Board (ZBA). After Support The Pink House paid for the area to be surveyed and flagged by Donohoe Surveyors, which took several months, a drawing based on proper boundary agreements was created, delineating the house's new lot containing it's upland, the driveway, road frontage, etc.. Each step we've taken has been with the consent of the Pink House's current owners, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), consistent with our written agreement together to accomplish this! The FWS co-signed this application, as they have for each one we have submitted. Our attorney, George Hall, a wetland and municipal expert who has generously donated many many valuable hours to The Pink House project, lent his expertise to properly filling out the application and representing us with the town all through.
We began the process by taking the drawings to Newbury's Planning Board for approval, which they awarded us unanimously after discussion with our board. The next step was to go before Newbury's ZBA, with whom we met a total of three times. The first time, Rochelle Joseph, STPH's President, was invited to give a brief introduction to the project and deliver a package outlining the community support, the mission and the history of the project. With the application processed, standard procedures were followed - a legal ad went in the paper, and letters went to abutters in advance of the next meeting. The next two ZBA meetings were attended by STPH's board and Attorney Hall, who outlined the project and addressed every question. When opened to the public, there were a few letters read and one gentleman who often attends town meetings with questions whose concerns were heard and addressed. Then people who we didn't know who were present spoke in support of the project. It is that kind of heartwarming reassurance that is the reason we formed, and keeps us going on the long road to save The Pink House. The ZBA did their job in thoroughly exploring the situation before giving us their unanimous approval. The Pink House sits on a triangle shaped, 2.9 acre parcel, the longest edge of which runs along the Plum Island turnpike. The last owners who lived in the house owned 2 additional small parcels which were marginally adjacent, and came with the house when the US Fish and Wildlife Service purchased it in September 2011. Many assume all the land around The Pink House is conserved marsh land - or part of the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge. But the entrance to the Refuge is actually 1.3 miles down the road from The Pink House! Interesting Fact: A quick look at any map shows that much of the land surrounding The Pink House is owned by the Colby's -- a much loved, local family of farmers who have passed the land down from father to son. There are also some individually owned parcels that have held them for generations but are not conserved, though some of land before and after the bridge is held by Greenbelt, as identified by their small trademark signs. If you'd like to check it out, visit the Newbury Assessors Map. It's fun! Support The Pink House agreed with FWS to carve out a little over an acre from that 2.9 acre parcel when we first signed the second Agreement to Initiate Exchange together in December 2021. Many building codes are easier if you have at least an acre. FWS granted that, and co-signed all our applications to complete that process with the town. But the acre + size was also perfect because that contained the upland the house sits on, and the long driveway leading to the street. Since then, we have completed the process to survey the land and map the wetland for the purpose of creating an ANR. We worked with the excellent Donohoe Survey, the owner of which, Paul Donohoe, has been an incredible friend and advisor to STPH, additionally donating quite a bit of their time attending meetings and giving advice through the years. We have been so grateful to the many professional who have done work pro bono, often putting other income producing work aside to meet deadlines with us. This not only shows us how truly wonderful people are, but reinforces the widespread understanding of how much this house means to the region. Written by Rochelle Joseph, President and volunteer for Support The Pink House Inc. Seven years ago, when the grass roots movement to protect The Pink House began, supporters knew that among the many hurdles and moving parts, we would need state recognition of the historical significance of The Pink House’s iconic building exterior and setting. This recognition, which can only come from the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC), is also the only thing which can allow for a perpetual (forever) preservation restriction under state law. “Form B” The beginning of the state’s process is to submit to the MHC a “Form B,” a building inventory form designed by the National Park Service to record historically and culturally significant properties. The form requires details of the history of the property, the building’s architecture, and exacting photography. The Pink House History STPH board member Sandra Tilton, with assistance from STPH founder and board member Alison Odle, began immediately to research the building’s history. They were joined by Newburyport Preservation Trust researchers, resulting in a comprehensive, deed-researched history of the The Pink House by 2019. The Pink House Architecture In the Spring of 2020, at the height of the pandemic, STPH began the process of creating and officially filing the “Form B” with MHC and preparing a draft preservation restriction. With funding from the Newburyport Preservation Trust, we were able to hire historic preservation specialist Eric Dray for invaluable help with both tasks. Eric told us it was important to document the particular architectural style of The Pink House — a Foursquare — and its rarity and significance in Newbury. Although unable to visit himself during the pandemic, Eric, with the Town of Newbury, guided STPH volunteers in photographically documenting existing, and still pristine, Foursquares in Newbury. The Pink House is rare indeed! The Pink House Photographs The Pink House has been photographed extensively for the purposes of the “Form B” and the next step - the draft preservation restriction. Sandra Tilton’s photographs led the way. The resulting “Form B” is now part of an important next step to protect The Pink House as generations have seen it. It is included in a draft preservation restriction still subject to approval by the MHC and the Town of Newbury. While the complex process to protect The Pink House is not over yet, The Pink House “Form B” is a key milestone, and we want you to see it! Editor's Note: We'll write another blog about the next step of a Preservation Restriction mentioned here, if you'd like to follow the progress and learn more. So keep an eye out here, or bookmark this page. Feel free to subscribe to our newsletter as well! Written by Stephanie Niketic, Preservationist, Support the Pink House Advisory Board
