A few Historic Buildings around New Bedford MA
I know yesterday I went out of my way not to share some historic buildings, but today has been a crazy morning with seemingly everything going wrong if it can LOL
Well, not as bad as that sounds. I did get out for a walk yesterday morning, which I will share photos from that walk tomorrow, but even though I thought I paced myself and didn't walk too much yesterday morning, later in the day I felt drained, so taking it easy today
So I am going back to Historic buildings, which we have so many of here in New Bedford MA.
The New Bedford Main Post Office I start with, which was built in 1915 and is at 695 Pleasant Street in downtown New Bedford, Massachusetts.

And next this is the New Bedford Free Pulic LIbrary, Originally built in 1839 as New Bedford's second town/city hall designed by architect Russell Warren, the Greek Revival structure later became home to the municipal library.
it was established in 1852, the institution is recognized as one of the earliest free municipal public libraries in the United States.

This is the historic Bourne Warehouse & Auction Room and is located at 47–49 North Second Street.
It was built in 1887, it is a striking example of late 19th-century commercial brick architecture
It once hosted bustling auctions selling everything from antique furniture to maritime goods.
The building was acquired and saved by the Waterfront Historic Area League (WHALE) in 1975 before being restored for contemporary commercial and community

And I had to slip in one shot of a Belgian block street; this is Center Street
featuring 18th- and 19th-century brick and timber buildings, and traditional gas-style streetlamps

Hello, dear friend @tattoodjay.
I'm sorry to hear what happened; you need to take it easy and start slowly until you're fully recovered. Take care, my friend.
I've always loved buildings made of stone, and these ones you've shown us are truly beautiful.
Excellent shots.
Have a wonderful day.
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
I did get out for a walk this morming, nbut just a shor tone
Have a great day
For a second I thought the Carter's building and the auction house were the same buildings!
👍🙂
Good day, Mr. @tattoodjay.
While all the places you visit are beautiful, when you visit this part of the city, I love your photos; these buildings there are absolutely stunning.
I love all the photos.
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day
Great looking old buildings. I love active work like WHALE to preserve older buildings. I still like big impressive buildings like the first two even if that style has fallen out of favor. They don't build them like that anymore.
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
OHh yes they sure had style back then
Have a great day
