Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the story of the rise of that unique nautical island people who were to become masters of the whaling capital of the world - Nantucket. It tells of the humble beginnings of those who pioneered 'with love and skillets' and were said to have salt water in their veins and whale oil in their joints; of their fishing and sheep-shearing economies; of their sailboat voyaging, their rain-barrel water supplies and space-saving furniture; and of their boast's crew cottages and homey lean-to dwellings. The book forms a record of the Nantucketers' 17th and early-18th century type of British civilization, medieval in some aspects, like town planning and building methods, which persisted in considerable degree down to the Victorian era."--Book jacket.

Phebe A. Hanaford. 'Twas the year of grace in Salem town, Where the witches gained their world renown, Where the ghostly sights on Gallows Hill Made memories dread that haunt it still, That a sturdy yeoman of honest fame, And bearing a fair ancestral name, Built the old house that stands to-day, Though centuries long have passed away. Scarred and brown and wrinkled and bare, The old, old house, so worn and rare, On its chimney holds a great horseshoe, Built of flint hard bricks yet firm as new, When the world was younger by ten score years, Ere it shared in the new-born hopes and fears Of the Coffyns, Macys and Gardners true, And of others like them with blood as blue. Their children far scattered o'er the world so wide; Their numbers like the sands by the ocean side; Their names oft blended with many a name, That shines to-day on the scroll of fame; Emblazoned there for the deeds so high, Or words so true that they will not die. How dear to such hearts is the island fair, With its treasured memories clinging there! Relic of the legendary past, Long may its great oak timbers last! Awakened once more from its dreamless sleep, It has to our hearts an interest deep. The voice of the past through each low room sounds. The laughter of children in fancy resounds, And we think of our forefathers youthful and gay, In the joyous young prime of their own happy day. They loved and they prayed, and in wisdom they grew, As the long silent voices on earth were then new; And childhood was glad in those days as to-day, And manhood had aims, love's sceptre its sway, And the ties that are holy and blessed and sweet, Bound heart unto heart with reciprocal beat; And the mother love lasted as mother love can, 'Till silver locks...

James Gardner, a hatter, built the half-house, as it is known in 1746 for his bride Judith Folger. He would be dead of consumption within eighteen months but Judith and her family would continue as stewards of the property for ninety years.

In recognition of her leadership role in eighteenth century Nantucket as well as the publication of this house history, the Nantucket Preservation Trust awarded Saltcoats a commemorative marker.
Download or read book The Oldest House on Nantucket Island written by Ida Gardner Coffin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oldest House on Nantucket Island: In Two Parts The two custodians who have taken charge of the house and shown it to visitors since it was first opened for pub lic inspection, although kindly consenting to the publica tion of a few extracts from their letters, will see in these printed pages for the first time the passages which have been chosen. The entire series of letters received from them during their custodianship would be regarded as most attractive reading by all who have a tend-er regard for old houses and old associations, and who have at the same time a keen sense of the many varying phases of human nature, from the ludicrous and peculiar upward to its higher manifestations. The chapters composing Part Second, although placed and mentioned last, are by no means the least prized por tion of the contents. As far as merit is concerned they might well have occupied the first pages of the book. But in view of their character it seemed proper that they should take the place the skilled architect reserves for his most ornamental work, not at the foundation, nor in the central portion, but for the part last built, the crest or crown of his edifice.

Book excerpt: "With photography, line drawings, and stories, this book captures the architectural history of Nantucket Island, on the East Coast. From its days when the Quakers gained a stronghold on the island, distinguishing their homes with an aesthetic of simplicity and superb craftsmanship, Nantucket has been shaped by the character and tradition of those who have designed and inhabited the tiny island. Today, Nantucket's significant cache of historic buildings - from simple lean-to houses to Federal-style mansions to clapboard Victorian summer cottages - are the subject of a preservation movement that serves to protect the island's rich cultural tradition for generations to come." "The book draws upon primary sources, diaries, oral histories, and archived photographs to examine the rich architectural heritage of this designated national treasure. Sea Captains' Houses is a study of the homes that have come to characterize this culturally rich island, making this book appealing to not only Nantucket homeowners but also visitors to the island and all those who admire America's architectural heritage."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
