In 1831 Henry Coffin, prosperous whale oil merchant, commissioned master mason, Christopher Capen, to construct 75 Main Street. It is one of the very first brick residences constructed on Main Street and remains in much its original state, on an extraordinarily large lot by Residential Old Historic District standards. This property has never been transferred outside the Coffin family and awaits a restoration-minded owner to carry on the stewardship of this important monument of Nantucket's beloved history.
