Monument Square (a.k.a. Four Corners)

Sep 09 2014 Leave a Comment

Nantucket’s first encounter with combat was the Civil War, during which 73 of the 339 Nantucket men who enlisted were killed in action or by illness. The Soldiers and Sailors Monument honoring them (pictured above) is located on upper Main Street at a spot islanders commonly refer to as the “Four Corners.”

According to the Nantucket Historical Association, this neighborhood is known as Monument Square where Main, Upper Main, Milk, and Gardner Streets intersect. This was at one time the thriving civic hub of Nantucket. During the eighteenth century, the town gradually shifted closer to the harbor and in 1798, the town changed its name from Sherborn/Sherburne to Nantucket. During this time, Monument Square became the site of civic buildings, a meetinghouse, an early school, and the dwellings of some of Nantucket’s most prominent citizens.

The Christopher Starbuck House located at
105 Main Street was originally built facing the south before orientation to the street was
necessary. Located across from the Civil War Monument – it has become a popular historical attraction. The homes down this street have come to symbolize the island’s whaling era.

Classic Nantucket Style

Sep 04 2014 Leave a Comment

Sometimes it is the simple things that add charm to a home like a beautiful flowering hydrangea or an American flag dressing up a porch. The porch ceiling painted sky blue and the Nantucket reds hat hanging in the entryway on this home is just icing on the cake. We love the simplistic charm of this classic Nantucket home!

Greater Light of Nantucket

Sep 01 2014 Leave a Comment

The house at 8 Howard Street is known as the Greater Light and is now a property of the Nantucket Historical Association. The home once belonged to Gertrude and Hanna Monaghan, two Quaker sisters from Philadelphia who converted the livestock barn into a summer home and art studio in the 1930s. The Greater Light lovingly illustrates the era of Nantucket’s history when an art colony thrived in the aftermath of Nantucket’s whaling era. When you take a close look at this unique home you can see that they were collectors of cast-off architectural elements—including twelve-foot-high wrought-iron gates, Italian gilded columns, decorative church windows, and exotic adornments from around the globe. An eclectic mix of architecture and decorations it’s character is truly a reflection of their love of art.
