Relevance to the Community

This building has long been a treasured center of activity for the Nantucket community at large. Its central downtown location, historic nature, seating capacity, acoustics, mixture of large and small public spaces, and open door policy, has established the structure as one of Nantucket’s most neighborly, widely used and revered public spaces.

The building’s primary function is a place of worship for the Methodist and The Brazilian Church. It’s also been home to two local theatre companies for over twenty years as the church’s vibrant secular tenant transforms the basement into a performance space in the summer and shoulder season. The building is such a lively community meeting place both seasonally and year-round with a capacity to seat 400 people in the main sanctuary.

Other community organizations utilize the building and the front lawn at specific times of year and equally benefit from its conveniently central location and welcoming policy are the activities associated with organizations and groups such as Arts Festival, certain years hosting The Nantucket High School Seniors’ Baccalaureate Service, The Nantucket Organ Crawl, Chamber of Commerce 4th of July celebration, Daffodil Weekend festivities, Halloween Costume Judging Contest, and Christmas Stroll Carols.
