Happy Earth Day! 🌍 The greenest building is the one that is already built, and the Academy Hill Apartments are one of many fine examples of adaptive reuse on Nantucket!
The Academy Hill School was constructed in 1929 and converted into 27 apartments in 1985, providing affordable living for seniors and adding a vibrant presence to Nantucket's downtown core.
NPT recognized HallKeen Management's commitment to the preservation of this historic resource with it's Stewardship Award last year.
We're currently accepting nominations for our 2021 Preservation Awards; visit our website to learn more!

We'll be sharing looks at the interior on our stories over the next few months, leading up to your chance to bid on the dollhouse in this year's Sense of Place Exhibition and Auction!
A very special thank you to the volunteers who have spent months shingling, painting, making custom floorboards, picking out furniture, making custom bedding and curtains, and doing so much more to create this special auction item!
