Rose & Crown Guesthouse
158 Commercial St., Provincetown
Built in the 1780s and one of the oldest homes in Provincetown, this Georgian-style “square rigger” is known for its eerie wooden-carved ship figurehead, nicknamed the Jane Elizabeth, who greets guests as they enter the lesbian-run guesthouse. The inn is rumored to be haunted by Preston Babbitt, who owned the house in the 1980s and passed away in the early ’90s due to complications associated with AIDS. Babbitt’s spirit has supposedly been seen in the house wearing a white wedding gown, an outfit he wore during the yearly Carnival parade.—SB
