Links to the Trust’s growing library of House Profiles may be found below. Homeowners can commission the Trust to prepare a House Profile of their property to highlight its important architectural features and evolution, as well as the record of ownership and significant relevant historical events. The Trust believes that emphasizing these features will encourage current and future owners of historically significant houses to preserve important interior and exterior building features for future generations. House Profiles are also registered with the Massachusetts Historical Commission, and hard copies may be viewed at the Trust’s office or at the Nantucket Historical Association.
One way to preserve these features in perpetuity is through the use of Preservation Restrictions and Conservation Restrictions, which serve to protect defined elements of a structure and/or property for the enjoyment of future generations. The Trust stands ready to assist homeowners in assessing the appropriateness of tools like preservation restrictions and rights of first refusal, which may include tax benefits. We currently hold Preservation Restrictions on Atlantic House and The Siasconset Union Chapel and a Conservation Restriction on Hedged About.
For more information on how the Trust can help, please contact us.
Hard copies of these House Profiles may be viewed at the Trust’s office or at the Nantucket Historical Association.
