‘Mr. Hunt arrived in Provincetown with long blond hair, two Afghan dogs, a large black cape and a dwarf in attendance. He was known as “Peter Lord Templeton Hunt’ or, as one native recently insisted, ‘a real queen.’ Born in 1898 in New Jersey as Freddy Schnitzer, Peter Hunt cultivated a unique artistic method and peasant style of decorating furniture, had an outlandish appearance, lived with his mother, and became a permanent fixture of Provincetown’s resident community.”
