Thursday some shots from a recent walk downtown in the historic district
some shots from a recent walk downtown in the historic district
On one of the recent nice mornings I parked down at the port and crossed the road and took a stroll around New Bedford's Historic District. Whenever I do that I imagine what it was like back in the day when many of these buildings were built and wonder how life was back then when New Bedford during the peak of whaling days was one of the richest cities in the world
I went with a mono edit for this first shot thinking back to those days
The Joseph Taber Building is a commercial structure composed of granite ashlar and built c. 1825-1840. This structure is an example of a simple, unadorned vernacular Federal style building. On the interior, the second and third floors are suspended from large trusses by wrought iron rods. Joseph Taber was a pump and blockmaker who conducted his business here from the 1830s to the 1880s. The first story was occupied by Taber as a pump and block maker's shop, and the second story was a boat builder's shop.
Now it has the Cork Restaurant

nother building just down the Belgian block road from the last shot is this building which I am not sure of the history of, but the New Bedford Ship Supply Company has been around since 1939 and they offer a wide range of marine gear, including safety equipment, deck clothing, and boat parts

The way you say that first building is set up on the inside is interesting to me. I can't quite picture how the science works in my head. It's a cool old building though and you captured it well!
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day

Thanks kindly your support is appreciated

Such cool history right there in the town. The buildings are so much older than around here, that's for sure. I do miss that about the east coast. Not the weather though! lol
Great pictures, I loved the monochrome in the building for the first shot. Amazing the building has been in use for 200 years, I know it's nothing compared to some in Europe, but for here it's impressive!
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
