The Oldest Home in Nantucket

Posted by Henry (Boston, United States) on 27 March 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Built in 1686 the Jethro Coffin House is Nantucket's oldest home. It is the only remaining structure from Nantucket's original English settlement. It sits on a gentle rise called "Sunset Hill" just a few moments drive or a short walk from downtown.

I've shot the home several times and this is my favorite photo. It was a cool misty morning and the peacefulness of the photo does not betray the fact that I was being set upon and attacked by hordes of aggressive mosquitos!

As always your comments are greatly appreciated.
