description

Summary

Significance: Sixteen separate houses built between 1785 and 1836 that form a continuous facade along the street; an example of the typical Nantucket residential streetscape and architecture that existed at the beginning of the nineteenth century. / India Street was provided in the layout of Wesko Acre Lots in 1678, in the Third Squadron at a place known as Micah's Pond. The sixteen houses on the north side of India Street are typical late 18th and early 19th century two story buildings with shingled exteriors, gable roofs parallel to the street, off-center entrances, and central fireplace cores - each modified to the changing tastes of a succession of occupants.
