Notes
  • Significance: Built when Nantucket was at the peak of prosperity, it is the most elaborate of the town's Greek Revival houses and one of about fifteen mansions built on or near upper Main Street between 1830 and 1850. This 2 1/2 story, 3-bay, wood frame house with a Corinthian portico was built in 1845 for William Hadwen for his niece on her marriage to George Wright. Frederick Brown Coleman was the designer-builder. It is perhaps the most elaborately detailed Greek Revival house on the island with its portico, the second floor ballroom with spring floor and decorated pilaster dome ceiling, and the small circular stairhall with a plaster dome ceiling, Corinthian pilasters and statuary niches.
