Source document Quoted word for word from HABS MASS,10-NANT,89-. Not written, edited or summarised by this site.

Academy Lane is located on Academy Hill, once known as Beacon Hill, adjacent to the First Congregational Church (MA-902) and The North Vestry (MA-903). The lane, one of Nantucket's oldest registered roads, is listed on Isaac Coffin's survey of This project documents eight houses on Academy Lane, between Church Ln. and Westminster St. These buildings form a concise record of the Federal and Greek Revival influence on Nantucket's residential architecture from the late eighteenth century through the great whaling years and subsequent Golden Age of the nineteenth century. These modest buildings were influenced by Quaker traditions, popular pattern books, and available building materials and techniques.

Although the houses, landscape, and lane have been modified to accommodate twentieth century use, they still maintain their original character. ACADEMY LANE NEIGHBORHOOD (page 2) HABS No. MA-1262 PART 1 HISTORICAL INFORMATION A. Physical History: 1. Dates of Erection: The specific dates of erection are unknown for most of these buildings but they vary from (The Worth/Gardner House - #3) to (Albert Tobey House - or (The Furber House - #12 Academy Ln. ). 2. Architects: Unknown. 3. Original and subsequent owners: Most buildings have a long list of owners except the Worth-Gardner House which was only owned by five different families. Several buildings were owned by the same families, and some were such prominent Nantucket families as the Bunkers, Coffins, and Gardners (figure 1).

There were also fourteen families that inhabited Academy Ln. for at least twenty years (figure 2). Some specific people even owned several buildings on Academy Ln. These common owners are Hannah Gardner, Thomas Hiller, John K. Sears, Allen Smith, Charlotte Swinburn, and Gideon Worth (figure 3). Two maps that reveal specific owners are The Henry F. Whaling Map of Nantucket and The Town Blueprint (figure 4 and 5). Some occupations of the Academy Ln. inhabitants include master mariners, merchants, carpenters, and an artist. One noteable mariner is Captain Alexander Bunker, of The Bunker House who after retiring from the whaling industry, became the first master of the lightship New South Shoals, which was the first lightship seen by returning ocean liners.

Some other noteable mariners are Gideon Worth and Thomas Hiller of The Gideon-Worth House who served during the Revolutionary War and Charles H. Furber of The Furber House Academy . Another owner of the Gideon Worth House was George Coggeshall who left Nantucket as a Gold Rush Pioneer to California. One more important inhabitant of Academy Ln. was the New Haven artist George Flagg who had a studio in The Gardner-Fish House Westminster during the 4. Original builders, contractors, suppliers: Unknown 5. Original plans and construction: Not available, Unknown 6. Alterations and additions: The majority of the buildings have had alterations and additions, most of which have been added to the rear.

Three houses have had much interior alterations: In The Furber House Academy all of the fireplaces have been removed, in The Albert Tobey House ACADEMY LANE NEIGHBORHOOD (page 3) HABS No. MA-1262 all of the first floor interior has been gutted except for the front hall and front two rooms, and in The Gardner- Fish House Westminster the second floor and attic have been converted into rental apartments. The Gardner- Fish House Westminster has had the most additions of all the houses in the neighborhood; extending to the west end of the lot and in varying amounts along the south elevations.

The Sanborn Insurance Maps illustrate some of these changes from to (figures 6 - Other changes in the neighborhood are illustrated in William Coffin, Map of Nantucket and Stoner's Bird's Eye view of the Town of Nantucket Looking Southwest (figures 11 and B. Historical Context: Academy Ln. is located on Academy Hill, formerly called Beacon Hill. The Map Showing; Early Nantucket Town Lot Layouts and Share Sites from to illustrates that at this early date, the land was part of Richard Gardner's Seven Acre Grant, an annex to his farm, "Crooked Record" (figure In under the presidency of John Adams, there was a direct tax established requiring all the streets in the United States to be named and listed. Isaac Coffin Esq. surpervised this task on Nantucket, and Academy Ln.

was listed at this time, grouping it with the oldest registered roads on the island. The Lane is named after Nantucket's first academy (demolished) which was a private school located off the south side of the lane's west end. (There is a conflict in naming the lane after the academy and the lane's prior registration in but the town records do not provide an explanation). There are various descriptions of the lane's boundaries. Isaac Coffin described it as extending from Center St.

on the "northeast corner of the house of Enoch Coffin then in a zig-zag course, west, north, and west by the house of George Clark to the Academy" (Worth, records that none of these buildings were standing by Since then, these sections have been labled by various sources, including The Sanborn Insurance Maps and J.J Stoner's Bird's Eye View Map as Academy Academy Ave., and part of Church Ln. Even today the streets are labeled, starting from Center as Academy Ave. to Church Ln. to Academy but Academy Ln. is the official, registered name for all the sections. Clay Lancaster (The Architecture of Historic Nantucket, p. dates Academy Ln. as being labled as a lane since the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The architectural growth of Academy Ln.

illustrates the important era of Nantucket history from its early settlement to its Golden Age. Some specific information placing Academy Ln, in the context of Nantucket's history (taken from Rev F. C. Ewer's Historic Map of Nantucket, ca. unless otherwise noted) follows: When the Worth-Gardner House was built, in the the Island's population was In the Old North Vestry (the oldest remaining religous structure on ACADEMY LANE NEIGHBORHOOD HABS No. MA-F262 Nantucket) was moved to its present site just to the north of Academy Ln. (First Congregational Church pamphlet).

In the when The Gardner-Fish House Westminster the Clark House and The Gideon Worth House were built, the Island's population was the first whaling ship left the island for the Pacific Ocean, and the tower was built on the Old North Vestry. A very significant year is when the Academy at the top of the lane was built and a one-thousand pound bell (the first to ring on the island) was added to the Old North Vestry to henceforth resonate through the neighborhood (First Congregational Church painphlet). In the when The Gifford-Swain House and The Bunker House were probably built, the Island's population had reached Nantucket's last Indian died, and there were 72 active whaling ships. In the area north of Academy Ln.

was changed by the construction of the First Congregational Church in front of the Old North Vestry (First Congregational Church pamphlet). The island's only silk factory was built on the nearby corner of Gay St. and Westminster St. in The Furber House Academy and The Albert Tobey House were built a few years before the Great Fire on July and of and before the decline in whaling. Other significant history pertaining to Academy Ln. is the replacement of The Academy by Nantucket's first public high school in which stood until (Lancaster, The Architecture of Historic Nantucket, and the return of the steeple to the First Congregational Church in (First Congregational Church pamphlet), returning the skyline around Academy Ln. to its pre-1850 appearance. Geologically, Academy Ln.

rises to the top of Academy Hill. Westminster which extends south from the top of the lane, used to be called Clay St. because a large strip of clay lies below it and stretches across the island. This implies that The Gardner-Fish House Westminster The Furber House Academy and The Clark House are all built on this bed of clay. During the operation of the island's Silk Factory, the land on the south side of Academy Ln. was not developed because there was a deep gully from Academy near Westminster down to Hussey St. into which the waste water from the factory was drained. A few silk trees were probably planted in this area too. Prepared by Rebecca Hunt PI: N July ACADEMY LANE NEIGHBORHOOD (page 5) HABS No PART 2 ARCHITECTURAL INFORMATION * MA_1262 A.
