The Thomas Starbuck II homestead was built c. 1761

The Thomas Starbuck II homestead was built c. 1761 and moved to its current location on Milk Street not long after, sometime around 1790.
Since 2002 the house has been protected by a preservation easement, so its stately exterior appearance, as well as its historic interior, will always be preserved!

The Rescom & Elizabeth Palmer House was built on t

The Rescom & Elizabeth Palmer House was built on the corner of Prospect and New Mill Streets c. 1808, but according to historian Clay Lancaster, a portion of the building was constructed c. 1740 and moved and reused by Rescom Palmer, who was a house carpenter by trade. Nantucket Preservation Trust holds a preservation easement on the house, which ensures that historic exterior and interior features like its floors, windows, fireplaces and mantle pieces, decorative trim and more will be preserved forever.

Today we visited the campus of @nisda_arts, the former Seaview Farm, one of the more than 25 historic Nantucket properties protected forever by preservation easements held by NPT. Our tour included the Heifer Barn, recently relocated back to its original location from the neighboring property at 19 Wauwinet Road, now owned by the @nantucketlandbank. Much of the restoration work at the NISDA campus has been funded through Nantucket's Community Preservation Commission, and it's great to see CPC funds in action!

Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for our Salvage and Building Material Reuse workshop! We were thrilled to welcome Mae Bowley of @repurposesavannah to the island to hear all about her exciting work in Georgia, and presentations from John Livermore of EBP, Andy Buccino of @stephensandcompanyinc, Holly Backus and Vince Murphy from the @townofnantucket, and our own Mary Bergman expanded on the past and present of salvage and reuse on Nantucket.

Many thanks to ReMain Nantucket for underwriting this event, and to @ackhistory for hosting us!

Did you know 79 Orange Street is an architectural

Did you know 79 Orange Street is an architectural salvage success story? The original Italianate-style facade of the c. 1879 building was removed in the 20th century, but when 79 Orange Street's near-twin building, the former Monument Square grocery, was torn down in 2001, its facade was saved and stored for over a decade, until it was installed at 79 Orange Street, restoring the building's exterior appearance. Today the building is protected forever by a preservation easement held by NPT.

Learn more about architectural salvage and building material reuse on Nantucket in a workshop tomorrow, Wednesday 9/27, from 3-6 PM. Visit our website for full workshop information and link to live stream!
