Description
Paved with cobblestones and old world charm, Nantucket's Main Street offers a step back into the 19th century, when carts laden with whale oil were as common a sight on the uneven road as tourists are now. The street was widened considerably in 1857 after the Great Fire devastated many of the buildings lining it. Now a mainstay for visitors to the island, the street is lined with majestic Georgian and Greek Revivalist mansions, and other splendid historic homes and buildings, such as the Thomas Macy House, and the Pacific National Bank, which dates back to 1818.
