Main Street, 'Sconset (The Houses and Their Histories) by Betsy Tyler (2012-08-02)

[This edition has a graphic error that has been corrected with a sticker, and the price has been reduced to reflect this.] Of the thirty houses that boast a Main Street address between the Pacific Bank and the Civil War Monument, nineteen predate 1833. The first map of the residential Nantucket was drawn by William Coffin, who depicted the "footprint" of each building in the entire town. Details on the history of these houses and the development of the Main Street neighborhood are presented through town records, maps, and historic photos. This was our first book in our Neighbhorhood Book Series, printed in 2006.
