That doesn't mean "this" century, or even last century, it means the one before that. It was built as far as we can tell in the late 1700's, That old section has been added on to and changed and updated so many times over the centuries that it is hard to tell what came when. We do know that the home was occupied in the Abraham Lincoln's time by the Reverend James Barnaby, four-time pastor of the nearby First Baptist Church of West Harwich for a total of 36 years between 1822 and 1877. We don't know when exactly the property first started to be used as a rest stop for weary travelers, but it has a long history in that regard. The late Arthur Perkins, local resident and historian, told of delivering groceries there "when Bessie Rogers ran the place in the twenties". We do know it was operated as the "Wayside Inn" for many years. At one time it was known as the "Red House Inn."
