Visualizing our Community The Art and Artists of Nantucket by Cecil Barron Jensen
This year, as the Artists Association of Nantucket celebrates its 65th anniversary, we feel the need to reflect on the island’s art history and honor the artists who led the way. Each generation was marked with changing trends in art and visionary leaders, including students, teachers, gallery owners, and trustees of the AAN. Their dedication to the fine arts inspired hundreds of young artists, and their influence can still be seen on the walls of today’s galleries.
Cecil Barron Jensen is the Executive Director of the Artists Association of Nantucket and the former editor of Historic Nantucket. She lives near Madaket with her husband and three daughters.

Visualizing our Community The Art and Artists of Nantucket
By Cecil Barron Jensen
Since the 1820’s, Nantucket has fostered a love affair with the arts. Peeking out from behind a restrictive Quaker society, the early artists of the 1820’s gave us a rich and varied collection. There are gems of scrimshaw, somber silhouettes, richly illustrated logbooks, and many other wonderful artifacts in private and public collections all over the island.
As the Quakers became more affluent, and softened their rules, we find paintings of the town, its architecture, and the people. Visiting portrait artists found willing commissions starting in the late 1820’s, led by the prolific William Swain. Thanks to him and to other visiting and home-grown portrait artists, we have an impressive visual record of the island’s nineteenth-century citizens.
“The Nurse ” oil on canvas by Elizabeth Rebecca Coffin Nantucket Cottage Hospital Collection
After Nantucket’s fame as a whaling capital waned and the population dwindled during the 1850’s and ‘60s, a new wave of artists found the island. Led by the great Eastman Johnson in the 1870’s, many artists “discovered” the quaint and charming wonders of Nantucket. Like his peers, Johnson wanted to paint works that were evocative of America prior to the Industrial Revolution and the resulting increased mechanization and tension in its cities. He and others who painted on Nantucket from 1870 through 1900 captured a nostalgic island — a picturesque place full of healthy children and wise old men.
At the end of the nineteenth century, artists were greatly encouraged by Nantucket’s growing tourist trade. They painted lighthouses, the Old Mill, the wharves, and historic houses with an eye to sales, often painting the same scenes over and over again. The Inquirer and Mirror reported in August of 1882 that the island had become “an artist’s retreat” where painters could find “many a nook and corner queer enough for their delicate brushes.” Working on Nantucket just before the turn of the century, Elizabeth Rebecca Coffin left a significant mark on the island’s art history. Her leadership and creative energy helped to lift the island out of its post-whaling depression and to identify it as a good place for artists and their work. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Coffin had roots on Nantucket dating back to one of the island’s first settlers, Tristram Coffin. She attended Vassar College and continued her study of art in Europe and New York. In the 1880’s she began to paint with renowned artist Thomas Eakins, developing a friendship that would last their lives. At the same time, she began to spend part of her summers on Nantucket. After buying a house on island in 1897, Coffin threw herself into the community.
10
Her primary focus was the reopening of the Coffin School. Naming it for her ancestor, Coffin wanted to develop a school that offered classes in manual training for boys and home economics for girls. She committed significant time and effort to establishing the school, which must have cut into her time painting. However, we are left with a spectacular collection of portraits, genre paintings and still life canvases. Like many of her colleagues of the time, she was a realist artist, capturing the island’s beauty and its quiet, agricultural ways.

Margaret Moore Booker writes in Picturing Nantucket that while Nantucket was flourishing as a seaside resort, Coffin painted a rural life that was fast fading. Coffin exhibited her work at the Coffin School during her lifetime, and the Kenneth Taylor Galleries honored her with a memorial exhibition fifteen years after her death. Coffin, like Eastman Johnson, paved the way for a new generation of artists.
Congdon studied with Rhoda Holmes Nichols at a summer school in Shinnocock Hills, Long Island. In Boston and Maine, she worked with artist Charles H. Woodbury.
Born in 1873 in Nashua, New Hampshire, Anne Ramsdell Congdon was the daughter of the New Hampshire Governor, George Ramsdell. Fortunate to have had an excellent education in the arts, Condgon studied in Paris after graduating from high school and spent two summers Capizzo_Arts2_10 4/28/10 10:06 AM Page 1 studying in Europe. Upon returning to the U.S.,
Congdon was an active participant in the growing art colony and an early member of Artists Association of Nantucket (AAN). As an artist, she bridges the era of gentle realism to bold impressionism and is a glowing example of the artists who found inspiration on the island as well as a community eager for her work.

With the beginning of a new century, the island welcomed another new wave of artists, further establishing origins of the Nantucket art colony. Men and women alike found colleagues and teachers willing to lead them in artistic growth. They found an island that never ceased to inspire.
After marrying Dr. Charles E. Congdon in 1902, the young artist began summering on Nantucket. Her early paintings of Nantucket are delicately-made watercolors. With the arrival of children came a twenty-year hiatus from art while Congdon ran an antiques shop in Nashua. When she returned to painting, Congdon started to work in oils with Nantucket teacher, Frank Swift Chase. By the time she moved to the island, Congdon had developed a reputation for her colorful waterfront scenes and vivid countryside views.

Elizabeth Saltonstall, Emily Hoffmeier, Sue Cory Guenther and Florence Lang. His students met three times a week and worked en plein air. An avid outdoorsman, he infused his lessons and art with the beauty of Nantucket’s scenery and pushed his artists to find their own styles and connections to their work. In 1958, he told the Inquirer and Mirror: “While I am a realist, I do not believe in mere pictorial records, or faithful copies. Something of yourself, your feeling, must be put into a picture.� He joined as an early member of the AAN and continued to teach and exhibit his work until his retirement in 1952, after a serious illness.
Congdon would be quick to credit her success to her teacher, Frank Swift Chase. In fact, many of the island’s artists of the early twentieth century would agree: Chase was an extraordinary teacher. His influence and keen ability to foster an artist proved to be the launching Frank Swift Chase 1931 of the Nantucket art colony.
Born in 1886, Chase moved to New York in 1909 to study at the Art Students League. During the summers he studied with Birge Harrison and John Carlson at the Woodstock School of Landscape Painting. By 1914 he was a teacher and played a key role in the formation of the Woodstock Artists Association. He was first invited to Nantucket to teach in 1920; he stayed for a month. The following summer, he was here for two, and so began his thirty-year commitment to painting and teaching on Nantucket.
So the island had a teacher; next, it needed a patron. Fortunately, there was Florence Osgood Rand Lang. An artist herself, Lang and her husband were also clever business leaders. Together they purchased South Wharf in 1917 and ran the Island Service Company. In addition, they bought the area around Commercial Wharf and a strip of beach along Washington Street that included shanties, boathouses, and an old candle factory. Lang’s vision was to develop the site as housing and studio space for artists. Like bees to
Known as the Dean of Nantucket painters and teachers, Chase taught all of the island’s most influential artists including Congdon, Ruth Haviland Sutton, Isabelle Hollister Tuttle,

honey, artists flew to the opportunity, renting space for as little as fifty to seventy dollars for the summer. “Notable Nantucket artists including Ruth Haviland Sutton, Emily Hoffmeier and Elinor Barnard all discovered Nantucket and flourished artistically because of Lang’s studios,” said Ben Simons of the Nantucket Historical Association. In addition, Lang converted the property’s candle factory to the Candle House Studio. As the island’s first gallery for public display of art, the Candle House Studio became a place to meet, socialize and learn about Nantucket’s art and artists. Inspired by its success, Lang moved another old building to Easy Street and opened the legendary Easy Street Gallery in 1924. Open to all island artists, the gallery hosted lively exhibitions and provided a hub for the growing artist community. In 1945 it was succeeded by the Kenneth Taylor Galleries, which would house AAN.
A history of the island’s art colony and the formation of AAN would not be complete without including Elizabeth Saltonstall. Born in 1900, Saltonstall was a master stone lithographer and an art teacher at Milton Academy for thirty-seven years. Widely regarded as one of the most consistent and longest-serving core members of the Nantucket art colony, Saltonstall first came to the island in 1922 to study with Frank Swift Chase. Renting studio and cottage space along the waterfront from Commercial Wharf, she continued to come every summer, except one, until her death in 1990.
Saltonstall painted in oils, watercolors and acrylics. Her canvases, like her stone lithographs, were filled with her love of nature. She sketched and painted the island’s flora, shells, mushrooms and ducks and caught her beloved waterfront views in oil. Saltonstall deeply valued her community of artists and teachers and was a true believer in the inclusive nature of AAN. She became part of the first board of directors in 1945 and planned its first member exhibition in the Kenneth Taylor Galleries in 1946. Playing a key role in bringing together artists and patrons, Saltonstall cemented the sustainability of the Nantucket art colony and infused the AAN with her vision for the future.

Creativity is crucial
for the
Green Revolution
NISDA charts its course!
By Tracy Leddy
Another hidden architectural treasure on Nantucket is poised to begin substantial renovations and restoration: the Nantucket Island School of Design and the Arts, better known by its acronym, NISDA. Its out of town campus, Sea View Farm, is located on Wauwinet Road off the Polpis Road. The dairy barn and long barn at Sea View Farm are acknowledged by the Nantucket Historical Association as the only remaining authentic farm structures on island from the time when there were once over one hundred working farms.
NISDA is looking for innovative solutions, using alternative energies like solar and wind power, while adhering to the regulations and restrictions of historical preservation. In an article published in the Inquirer and Mirror in April, 2009, reporter Eliot Baker quoted NISDA visiting Rhode Island School of Design professor Jonathan Knowles as saying, “There is a misconception that doing stuff green is more expensive, and that’s not true. This building (the dairy barn and long barn) has to be redone. Why not spend a little more up front and make it green? People on the island understand high energy costs. If you get adequate daylight from proper design, you save energy by not turning the lights on all the time. Use solar thermal, use photovoltaic…these are very basic things, but you have to get it right.” Internationally-known campus architect Richard P. Dober has appeared on the scene at just the right moment to offer his expertise, having watched the school grow, as he put it, for the past twenty years. However, whatever course of action is decided upon, founder and director Kathy Kelm assures the public that the basic laid-back, comfortable look and feeling of Sea View Farm will not change.
In order to move matters along, a year ago, Kelm, a professor for seven years at the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), invited 71 architectural students of Professor Knowles to visit NISDA and submit designs for both barns and silos at Sea View Farm, directing them always to keep in mind the twin goals of historical preservation and sustainable energy. The students arrived in three groups for a week’s stay each in the Harbor Cottages, the second NISDA “campus.” They studied wind and sun; they discussed and designed in teams of five students, each with its own specific focus.
The result a year later is a series of fifteen “terrific” designs, Kelm says, and the current task before her and her committee is to see which ones pass the necessary criteria of practicality and appropriateness to the island. Some of the submissions “pushed the envelope to the extreme” in terms of design, she commented. Returning this summer to continue work on NISDA’s Master Plan Sea View Farm Restoration are, above-mentioned campus architect, Richard P. Dober, contractor/sustainable energy expert, Rob Anderson, Barbara Gookin, from the Nantucket Energy Committee, Marsha Fader, architectural designer, student representative, Colin Carr, and Mark Voight from the HDC (Historic District Commission). Once designs are chosen and fit into the 2010-2015 Master Plan for the school, and after funding is realized (we have been very fortunate to have 24

had support throughout the years, Kathy Kelm asserts with a wide, grateful smile), the soft-spoken indefatigable director hopes that the work will be done in phases in a certain sequence. Kelm would like to see the heating aspect of the buildings taken care of first, so the school can remain open again for all four seasons of the year. When the old furnace blew up a couple of years ago, it became impossible to keep the dairy barn open during the coldest winter months. Kathy’s basic vision for NISDA is one of steadily increasing, long-term self-sustainability. She takes the concept of stewardship very seriously; she wants to take responsible action now at Sea View Farm with due consideration of the possible needs of future generations.
Kathy Kelm sees her involvement with the Nantucket Island School of Design and the Arts as an ongoing experience of a lifetime. Thus far, whatever challenges NISDA has faced, and there have been many, she has also been given the next necessary stepping stone so that NISDA could move forward. Making NISDA green, while adhering to principles of historical
preservation, is the stepping stone right before her now.
Considering the art school’s history, it is clear that NISDA has come a long way from its beginning as an offering of a single summer course back in 1973, shortly after Kathy Kelm and her husband, water garden designer Larry Cronin, and their children moved to Nantucket permanently. In the early years it was an itinerant art school, she says: courses were given wherever there was space available- the basement of the Coffin School, artists’ studios, high school classrooms and/or the third floor of the Academy Hill School. The earliest Children’s Art and Crafts programs were held in artists’ studios and in backyards.
The first few off-island RISD college students at NISDA were put up in private homes by generous islanders. When the numbers became too great, off-island students bunked in at the Nantucket Lightship Museum, moored at Straight Wharf, until it was sold some three years later. Then satisfactory alternative hous-

ing (what was to become the Harbor Cottages) quickly became available through “word of mouth,” and so it went.
However, by the early 1980’s, Providence (in the forms of “Hank the Bank” Kelleher, President of the Pacific National Bank, and a wealthy art student) had made it possible for non-profit NISDA to acquire both the Sea View Farm property and the Harbor Cottages, giving the school an expansive studio home out of town as well as a series of small in town residences for visiting artists and students.

When Kathy Kelm is asked about people who were a help to the school along the way, she says, her voice full of appreciation and praise, she has “a long list.” At its top is her own husband, Larry Cronin, who has “held her hand,” and who has been a constant source of support, assistance, and encouragement from the beginning. Tony Thompson, a fellow academic and artist, comes next. He co-taught some Art-in-theLandscape & Studio courses with her in the early years and provided the perfect comple-

ment to her own creative interests. His input was “instrumental,” she says. Eunice Haskell, a retired store manager at Buttner’s on Main Street with an MBA, and a long-time close friend, set a steady day-to-day organizational course for the school. Others helped out with specific needs. As an example, Kathy Kelm wrote in an email how one year, in order to enable the school to open in compliance with strict building codes, “Augie and Rookie Ramos “saved the day” by trucking from off-island a required metal staircase, gifting and installing it. Steve Shepard welded it in.” In truth, Kathy’s list of NISDA helpers is pages long.
NISDA is so much more than summer painting classes en plein air somewhere out in the moors. In addition to the stimulating, wide-ranging yearly lecture series, which has highlighted such diverse off-island luminaries as Buckminster Fuller, Jean Huston, Roman Vishniac and Howard Gardner as well as local artists like Judith Brust and Beverly Hall, the breadth of courses currently offered is astounding: everything from 60-hour core curriculum Design and
29
MRich_artN_10 2.indd 1 Creativity: Art in the Environment and Studios, or Cultural Expressions: Interdisciplinary Experience, to specific technical explorations, like Clay, Textiles, Drawing, etc.. Kelm’s basic philosophy of combining “heart, hand and mind” in a consideration of art, science, the humanities and the environment has only deepened over the years. As director of the school, she believes in and encourages the use of the whole island as a classroom bounded only by the encompassing sea.
NISDA has been affiliated with and 5/6/10 grants2:53:32 grad-PM uate and undergraduate credit through Mass College of Art and Design in Boston for decades. The school has also been connected at various times to Brown, RISD, UMass, Amherst and UMass, Dartmouth. NISDA’s cooperative programs with RISD also continue today. An impressive number of colleges from Barnard and Bennington to Skidmore and Syracuse have allowed NISDA three-credit graduate and undergraduate courses to be part of their matriculated degrees.

ond time, NISDA has received permission from the Massachusetts State Board of Education to offer as many as 60 PDP’s (Professional Development Points) for core courses taken by teachers. In fact, the Board has told NISDA that any offering over 10 hours at the school can be granted PDP’s.
Over the decades NISDA has been involved with Nantucket Public Schools, especially the elementary school, enriching existing programs and broadening creative experience by offering all manner of courses, lectures and projects for children of all ages as well as for teachers during the school year and throughout the summer.
Asked if she misses doing her own remarkable textile design work, Kathy Kelm shakes her head: not at all. In her view, what she is doing now- designing creative human experiences- is only further along the same continuum. To quote Kelm’s own words from a recent NISDA course brochure: 32
“Becoming an arts educator is a natural path which I find extremely creative. The process is an art in itself, which I thoroughly enjoy. Being an artist has brought daily adventure with light, color, texture and creativity, which I still love. Discovering patterns emerge from within my mind, from nature’s abundance and from cultures around the world reconnected me to my childhood introduction by my mother to world literature, peoples, their environments and crafts-rekindling my experiencing our common earth, humanity, creativity and values. I seem to have naturally transposed my design capacities to designing human experience. I am dedicated to the arts and to education as a means to birth individual capacity, build world community and as a medium toward world peace.” NOTE: If you are interested in making a donation to NISDA, please contact Kathy Kelm at 508 325 6659 or nisda@nantucket.net.

Theatre on Nantucket: A New Stage Begins By Natalie Ciminero
“If you really want to help American theatre, don’t be an actress, Dahling, be an audience.” Reportedly uttered decades ago by one of the most outrageous and outspoken stars of theatre, Tallulah Bankhead, this directive can be loosely translated to support even today’s modern theatre. Whether you are a visitor or an island resident, you can help your American theatre. Buy a ticket, support theatre and the thespian arts on Nantucket. This year, we have quite the ticket for any theatre lover, the Theatre Workshop of Nantucket, also known as NTW.
Born in 1956 and enduring for 54 years, with a rich history colored by an amazingly talented cast of characters like founder Mac Dixon and artistic directors Richard Cary, S. Warren Krebs, and Kate Stout, and a portfolio filled with entertaining productions and memorable performances, NTW is about to embark on what has been described as one of the most exciting, complex and challenging seasons to date. Live theatre is a delight for both mind and senses. From the time the curtain is drawn to the final bow, the audience is taken on a journey filled with action, emotion, courage and transformation. For a couple of hours, we are given the opportunity to escape the fast-paced stresses of our lives, and to enter an alternate world of creativity: the expression of the human spirit and condition. We are captivated, and, if really lucky, entranced, as the story unfolds before our very eyes. Night after night, ordinary people become extraordinary characters who light up the stage with passion and conviction as they engage with our imaginations. And why do they do this? For the love of theatre, of course!
Theatre Workshop of Nantucket has been creating this magic for over 50 years now. Their mission statement says it all: “Theatre Workshop of Nantucket provides year -round theatre dedicated to enriching the cultural life and celebrating the arts in Nantucket. Through collaboration among community and other talented artists, we offer classic, contemporary, and original works that entertain and surprise. We are committed to providing educational programs and volunteer opportunities for people of all ages.” That is really what NTW is all about: primarily a nonprofit theatre group, NTW is dedicated to community involvement, workshops, and education as well. The organization has plans to promote this sense of community further by collaborating with the Nantucket Historical Association, the Atheneum and Mitchell’s Book Corner in offering the public staged readings, free scene study and monologue classes, group lessons, and other educational gatherings. And why do they do this? For the love of community, of course! This year brings not only a challenging production schedule, but also a host of changes and new goals, starting with a new appeals campaign, 34
in which donors are given the option of choosing how and where their funding is to be directed. For example, a donor can support a specific show and/or a specific part of what it takes to produce that show, be it sets, props, costumes, or other production needs. Though most money comes from private donors, there are hopes (and needs) for some local business support as well.
Now, let’s talk schedule. The year’s line-up of plays is not only daring in content, but also reflective of a new attitude the Theatre Workshop is embracing this year. The schedule boldly hosts eight shows, with a little something for everyone. The season begins with perennial favorite, “Our Town,“ but at the other end of the spectrum, is “Blackbird,” a play unlike any NTW has ever tried to do before. It tackles one of the most intimate and damaging forms of human (mis)behavior: child sexual assault. The play carries an important message on a global level because this widespread cause of calamity does not discriminate with regard to gender,
color, class, religious creed or ethnicity. Sooner or later any of us may be faced with an opportunity to speak out courageously in advocacy of those in distress or in desperate need. Will we turn a blind eye, or do the right thing? See the play and decide for yourselves! David McCandless, director of “Blackbird,” further mentions how “thankful” he is to the “NTW for the strength and unique opportunity in taking it (the play) on.”
There is a very palpable sense of pride and professionalism afoot this year as the Theatre Workshop begins this journey. When asked what she feels are the most immediate challenges that need to be addressed in the next three to six months, Gabrielle Gould commented, “because we have taken on such a huge challenge this season, we are committed to achieving our goals: to produce eight fantastic productions, to entertain and grow our audience, and to meet our fundraising goals.” She continues, “We hope to grow our board of directors as well.”

If you have gotten this far, you may have noticed a new name on the scene in Gabrielle Gould. As of January 4, 2010, she is the new Managing Director of NTW. She is part of a new life force and just one of an amazingly talented and dynamic “cast of characters.” There is a new combination of professionals running the show this year. Some of them have never worked together before, but there is a rhythm already established that supports the unique and individual talents of each person. I mean, who really makes the show go on? All of this magic doesn’t just happen on its own. A season like the one scheduled demands countless man (and woman) hours, years of combined experience, hard work, determination, passion and teamwork. (And a little good luck never hurt anyone!) So, who are the key players that comprise this new force at NTW? Along with Gould, this year features the professional and nationally known actor, John Shea, in his first full year as Artistic Director. There are more! We continue with Lighting Designer, Sandy 38
Galley, Technical/Set Manager, Eric Schultz, and Production Manager, Jane Karakula. The list of directors for each individual play ranges from Fritz Michele and Lynn Bolton from New York, to Nantucket’s own David McCandless and Meredith Martin. This incredible team of professionals is a force to be acknowledged and respected. They have earned it!
The changes in schedule content and “cast of characters,” along with a new fundraising campaign, and continued community collaboration, reflect a level of professionalism that is markedly noted within the theatre community. “We are embarking on what we feel is a new and energizing goal for the Theatre Workshop,” McCandless adds. There seems to be special excitement in the theatre community revolving around the idea of not only sustaining the NTW, but also in achieving the original dream of Mac Dixon. His dream was to have a regional theatre on Nantucket where actors are brought up from New York and cast with local community members. This will give inter-
ested and motivated community members the opportunity to learn, through an educational process, while working with a professional. Gould and McCandless both agree that the addition of John Shea as Artistic Director continues this theme and makes NTW one step closer to realizing that dream.
And, just when you thought, “how much more could they possibly accomplish?” NTW continues to dream even bigger: it seeks nothing less than world-wide recognition. Nantucket draws visitors from all walks of life and from all over the world. So then, the island deserves to have, and “should have,” according to Gould, a theatre with such lofty recognition that Nantucket becomes a destination which attracts theatre lovers as well as nature, history, beach, art, sailing and “island” lovers.
This brings us to the big issue, an issue that has troubled NTW for decades. There is a critical need for a permanent, year-round rehearsal and performance space. Theatre Workshop of Nantucket needs a home, for, after all, home is where the heart is. With the tragic loss of the old South Wharf Theatre by an all-consuming fire in 1975, the organization was left without a home. Since “busting onto the year-round scene with sold-out show after sold-out show,” as Pam Murphy described it in a 2006 Arts: nantucket article, the Theatre Workshop has gallantly operated without its very own venue. In generous cooperation, both Bennett Hall and the Methodist Church have acted as host homes throughout the years since 1975. They each have served the theatre community well. 40
In a dream world, Gabrielle Gould comments, NTW would have a “technically world-class theatre at our disposal, completely paid for, where we would also have the financial means to pay all actors, directors, and the entire staff what they are worth.” There is no discounting the Theatre Workshop’s capacity to dream big and act accordingly. They have endured changing venues and changing economies. NTW has rebounded over the years and has grown artistically. Through community collaboration and education, the organization has continued to be a positive force on Nantucket while entertaining us night after night, season after season.
Community theatre is an asset to the island in many ways, as it brings business downtown, provides artistic outlet to those interested in being involved, and educates and inspires our young people. Jane Karakula adds, “All those involved in theatre, the actors, production staff, and most importantly, the audience, play a part which creates the communal experience. Each rehearsal, each play, each performance creates its own little community, as temporary as it may be. It’s always an exciting endeavor starting each season while knowing that by the time the season wraps, I’ll have taken a journey.”
So, if you are interested and looking for something special to do this season that will bring you on a journey of imagination and creative expression, by all means, follow the advice of Tallulah Bankhead and “buy a ticket.” Not only will you be supporting the arts and theatre, you also will be supporting an island institution that is an integral and important part of collaborative efforts to enrich the community. The show must go on, and Theatre Workshop of Nantucket will continue to reach beyond Centre Street even after the final curtain call. To the entire organization and “cast of characters,” break a leg this season! Your courage, conviction and artistic expression will surely inspire us all, and we all could use a little inspiration now and then. We salute you with a standing ovation!

Greater Light:
NHA is bringing it Home
By Tracy Leddy
Two years ago Arts: nantucket published an article about one of the island’s hidden architectural treasures: the property known as The Greater Light on Howard Street. Part personal reminiscence, part historical essay, the article related some of the highlights from the well-known story of two affluent Quaker sisters, Gertrude and Hanna Monaghan, artists and offislanders, who felt inspired to purchase an old cow barn and pigsty “on the edge of town” back in 1929. The two sisters converted those humble structures into a unique private home and center for the arts. The sisters lived there for many years. Although the second sister died in 1972, the entire property, fully furnished, was formally deeded over to the Nantucket Historical Association (NHA) as the sisters had specified sometime in 1974. For twenty years the Greater Light and its small, charming garden were kept open for the public as a house museum with a tour guide in residence. As NHA became aware of the old building’s deteriorating condition, it was deemed too dangerous to remain open to the public and has been closed for viewing ever since, pending major reconstruction. At the end of that earlier article, reference was made to the Nantucket Historical Association’s ongoing fundraising campaign to restore The Greater Light in two phases to its former eccentric, eclectic splendor. This article is to bring our readers up to date, because much has been happening on Howard Street during the last two years. Hanna Monaghan Courtesy of NHA

It seems as though the same benevolent power which fueled the original purchase and transformation of this unusual property in the first place is still watching over it under the Nantucket Historical Association’s present respectful, conscientious stewardship. After three years of effort, enough financial goals were reached by the spring of 2009 so that the first phase, the complete restoration of the shell of the house, including the foundation, could be completed before this coming summer, 2010. According to Peter Greenhalgh, Manager of Marketing and Public Relations, the NHA deliberately chose to hire local workers as much as possible for this extensive, expensive project. In a media alert from February of this year, Peter wrote that after lifting the building off its weakened and crumbling foundation, Toscana Corporation repaired, rebuilt, and restored the original barn’s rubble walls, as well as the decorative brickwork installed by the Monaghan sisters. He went on to enumerate some of the other specific aspects of the work being done by Twig Perkins and his crew: the “lovely leaded windows” have been restored and put back in their original locations. The house has been completely reshingled, and a new asphalt roof, true to historical period, will replace the old roof shingles. Peter comments, “In maintaining as much of the original character of the building as possible, the bow in the roof will still be obvious.” To date, walls and ceilings have been reinforced, a new central floor has been built, and new wiring and plumbing have been installed. Attention to detail has been exhaustive. The ceilings, for example, have been replicated so meticulously that the modern visitor, looking up, will see, in effect, exactly what Gertrude and Hanna saw so many decades ago.
Phase two of the project is concerned with the interior furnishings of the building and with possible educational uses of the interior spaces. According to Peter Greenhalgh

in a recent telephone interview, the plan is to restore at least one bedroom and the sitting room to the way they actually looked when the sisters were in residence. NHA wants to refurbish, repair and restore “ as many of the antique pieces as are practical,” Peter said, but the Association does not want The Greater Light to be a “house museum.” NHA has a committee working on an interpretive plan for the large main room so that it can be used for musical reviews, theatre, poetry readings, gallery exhibits and the like, as it was in its first incarnation as a center for the arts. Out of deference to the neighbors in this heavily built-up residential area, there are no large gatherings planned.
There are plans as well for the eventual replanting of the gardens using plant materials similar to those the sisters had planted when they lived there. Peter Greenhalgh observed that five years from now, when the ivy is growing on the wrought iron gates, the garden is flourishing again, and the shingles have mellowed, the Greater Light won’t look at all “restored.”
The NHA hopes to open The Greater Light as a “work in progress” for the summer season this year. Because it is still a construction site, there will be limited admission and registration will be required. For further information, call the Nantucket Historical Association at 508 228 1894.
NOTE: Anyone interested in learning more about the restoration of The Greater Light may contact Mark Avery, director of historic properties, at 508 228-1894, ext. 232. To make a contribution to the project, please contact Cristin Merck, director of development, at ext. 114, or cmerck@nha.org.
Although The NHA is still vigorously fundraising for much of the second phase, it expects to have completed both phases of the restoration by the beginning of the summer season, 2011. As Peter Greenhalgh so eloquently put it, the restoration and reopening of the Greater Light to the public “will help recall an important part of the island’s history- the development of the island as a summer resort and the establishment of a thriving early twentieth century art colony.”
