Richard Coleman House, 21 Union St Nantucket, Nantucket County, MA
One of three gambrel-roof houses built in the typical Nantucket plan with off-center door and chimney. This 4-bay, 2 1/2 story, wood frame house was built by Richard Coleman, a housewright at the end of the 18th century. In plan it is typical of many houses of that period, but its gambrel roof is very unusual. Also of interest are the basement fireplace and oven and the panelling in the principal rooms.
