Ocean Edge is now the new name for a historic Cape Cod landmark, the Nickerson Estate. When Samuel Mayo Nickerson, the patriarch of the Nickerson family, built Fieldstone Hall in 1890, he was one of the wealthiest and most influential men in Chicago. As such, the country house he built for his only son, Roland, and his family was in many ways a symbol of the success and fortune Samuel realized after leaving the Cape some three decades earlier.

Samuel Nickerson, a direct descendant of one of the Cape’s first settlers, William Nickerson, left the Cape in 1847 as a young man and headed west to Chicago. With him, he took a great deal of ambition and very little money.

A year later, now in the distillery business, Samuel married Matilda Crosby, a Brewster native. By 1859, with his business thriving, Samuel and Matilda’s only child, Roland, was born. Having rapidly become a major business figure, in 1863, Samuel decided to become involved in banking. He founded the First National Bank of Chicago and served as its president for some 25 years.
