Ropes End is a historic summer house at 36 Hyde Road in Phippsburg, Maine.
It is a rambling three-story wood-frame structure, with a shingled exterior and a fieldstone foundation.
[2] The area on the east side of Cape Small Point was owned by members of the Lowell family as farmland for much of the 19th century.
Lots were primarily purchased by people from Bath; this house was built for William and Mary Reed of Boston, Massachusetts.
Reed was a founding member of the Small Point Club, the social center of the colony.
