Jethro Coffin House, Historical house in Nantucket, United States
The Jethro Coffin House features a two-story structure with a sloping north roof and massive fireplaces on each floor serving multiple rooms.
Built in 1686 as a wedding gift for Jethro Coffin and Mary Gardner, this residence represents the union of two influential Nantucket families.
The house exhibits early English colonial architecture with diamond-paned casements and traditional features that exemplify 17th-century New England construction methods.
The Nantucket Historical Association maintains regular visiting hours from May through October, with guided tours available by reservation.
Lightning struck the building in 1987, requiring two years and one million dollars to repair the extensive damage to the roof and chimney.
