Nantucket’s history of house moving goes back to the 1600s, and we at Nantucket Preservation Trust want to spotlight this longstanding sustainable practice. People seeking to demolish a building on Nantucket must first apply for a demolition/move-off permit from the Historic District Commission, and make the structures available to be moved before they can be demolished. Here are some structures with pending demo/move-off permit applications currently before the HDC.
