6 Priscilla Alden Road

Another direct descendant of Hawthorne, through Hensche, the artist Constance J. “Connie” Black (b 1929) bought this property in 1953 with her husband, Carl B. Black (b 1927). In a review of her one-woman show at the Provincetown Group Gallery in 1966, The Provincetown Advocate said: “As the inveterate opening night crowd flowed through the gallery, and as they learned that this was one winter’s output, reactions ran the gamut from Aaah! through Man!! to Zowie!!!” A brief profile of Black appears on Ewa Nogiec’s Provincetown Artist Registry. She was also active in an effort in the early 1950s to revive Provincetown’s little theater tradition in a group known as the Pilgrim Players. • Map • Assessor’s Online Database ¶ Posted 2013-08-04
