Wade Cottages  

"The Wade Cottages In the village of Siasconset, Nantucket Island. The Wade Cottages were built as a private estate in the late Twenties by the Wade family, and members of the family are still owners. The cottages incorporate furnishings and structures that date back into the 1800's. There are six cottages in the Wade compound proper; a seventh cottage was built close to the cottages' beach in the mid-1970's. The largest cottage, the Main House, and one of the smaller guest cottages are still used by the family as private residences. Other cottages and parts of cottages are among 'Sconset's very few public accommodations, and they maintain the graciousness and informality of the village's summer homes. The Wade Cottages stand at a confluence of nature and history preserved. Clustered mainly on 'Sconset's North Bluff, the cottages and their spacious grounds look due east, over virgin dunes, our beach and the open Atlantic. Immediately to the south lies the historic center of 'Sconset and its famous centuries-old fishermen's cottages. The village restaurants and stores are a short walk away.
