The following text is from "Building Provincetown: The History of Provincetown Told Through Its Built Environment."

As you approach the Turn in Commercial Street from the east, you may think you’re being watched. You are. A bust of William Shakespeare has taken up more-or-less permanent residence in a second-floor window at No. 112. Year in and year out, window open or shut, the ghostly little Bard casts his eyes over the West End Rialto.

Since 1994, this has been the home of John Dowd (b 1960), who is certainly the town’s best known contemporary landscapist and is among its better known contemporary artists — period. He also holds a key civic post: chairman of the Historic District Commission, which regulates a lot of what owners in the district can and cannot do with the exteriors of their properties — not an assignment guaranteed to make fans and friends of everyone who comes before (or tries to avoid) the commission.
