Notes
  • Significance: This three-story brick warehouse, the only eighteenth century commercial structure in Nantucket, although altered after being gutted in the Fire of 1846, is closely associated with early American maritime history. The William Rotch Building-Pacific Club was built in 1772 as a counting house and warehouse for the Rotch Enterprises. Three Rotch-owned Nantucket whaling ships, the Eleanor, Beaver, and Dartmouth, chartered by the East India Company to convey cargoes of tea, were involved in the Boston Tea Party on the night of December 16, 1773. The Pacific Club, founded in 1854 by twenty-four captains and masters, merchants and owners, seamen and ships' officers formerly engaged in the whaling business in the Pacific Ocean, purchased the building in 1861.
