Eight Gardner Street is located a block from Main Street around the corner from the famous Three Bricks.

Walk to the Whaling Museum, Jettes Beach for swimming or Nantucket Harbor to watch the boats.
Eight Gardner Street is an antique building completely renovated on the interior in 1992 to create a spacious, well decorated, two bedroom, two bath home with outdoor shower and brick patio. This Greek Revival style building has an interesting history. It was used, at different times, as a tailor's shop, as a meeting place for the Women's Christian Temperance Union, as a neighborhood A&P grocery store when the front was painted a bright red in the 1920s, and then for several decades it served as a Christian Science Society meeting hall. The oversized antique front door and the large 20 pane store windows are reminders of this building's past uses, while inside this lovely home are found modern conveniences for comfortable living.
