The legal team representing a 95-year-old painter worked out an agreement with federal officials that allows Salvatore Del Deo and his family to continue to live in and maintain a Cape Cod dune shack for five years. The Del Deo family have occupied the shack for nearly eight decades but were evicted this summer.
A 95-year-old painter and his family threatened with eviction from the Provincetown, Massachusetts, dune shack they have helped care for and occupy for nearly eight decades have won a reprieve.
The shack is one of a number dotting the more remote reaches of the Cape Cod National Seashore, located within the Peaked Hill Bars Historic District in Provincetown and Truro. The isolated shacks have no electricity or indoor plumbing and are prized for their uninterrupted solitude. Romolo Del Deo said the family opted to fight the eviction, in part because of their decadeslong connection to the shack.
The shacks have attracted artists, writers and thinkers for more than 100 years and are haphazard constructions by design, he said.He said that despite the eviction notice, the family refused to take their possessions out of the shack.
