When you return, get comfortable upstairs in your suite where you will be greeted with another, more spacious, deck that serves as a phenomenal place to sun bathe. Unwind in bed with a little TV on the flatscreen. No matter how you spent the day, it'll come to a relaxing end if you're staying at this snug waterfront getaway. Property History: Point Radio Cottage sits atop an imposing stone foundation laid in 1924 by the American inventor John Hays Hammond, Jr. (1888–1965). “Jack”, as he was known to his family and friends, was the son of a wealthy mining engineer and diplomat, John Hays Hammond, Sr. In his youth, Jack was mentored by Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell, who inspired him to pursue a career in scientific research. He attended the Sheffield Scientific School at Yale University, graduating in 1910. Two years later at the age of 24, he started the Hammond Radio Research Laboratory on a corner of his parents’ sprawling Gloucester estate. With his father’s money, he built a spacious lab and erected two steel broadcasting towers. Jack named his corner of the property “Point Radio.
