A few cool buildings around New Bedford MA

Good Morning and have a good weekend

Today I will share a few more photos of cool buildings i have seen around the city of New Bedford, MA on my walks

NO walk this morning, its raining, infact it rained all night and was really heavy at times. Some water in our basement and sunroom, but not too bad

The utility company building was constructed around 1913–1915.

The building served as the downtown headquarters for the New Bedford Gas and Edison Light Company. The company operated out of this space until vacating it in the early 1980s. Modern Era The site was later heavily modified and expanded. Today, the complex is known as Olympia Towers, a high-rise residential senior living facility that features a large modern addition constructed directly onto and around the footprint of the historic structure

Apparently, it is now deemed as a Family low income housing apartment

this is Sixes & Sevens, a bar and restaurant located at 7 S 6th St in downtown so the name now makes sense to me

Built by John F. Vinal, the structure originally served as a stable. It stands out as the only building in the Center District featuring a distinct granite facade with a round-headed door and windows.

For decades, it housed the legendary Cobblestone Restaurant, a beloved downtown fixture famous for breakfast and lunch. Notably, it held the distinction of being the only breakfast diner in the area with a liquor license, making it the ultimate post-shift sanctuary for local hospitality workers. It unfortunately sat vacant after a sudden closure during the COVID-19 pandemic. Reopened by New Bedford native Jordan Chabot and partner Hunt Latham as Sixes & Sevens, a popular neighborhood bar and kitchen. The new owners intentionally preserved much of the original historic character, keeping the iconic tin ceilings, exposed brick walls, and the original pineapple logo as a direct homage to its heritage.

    It's fascinating how New Bedford's historic buildings continue to evolve while preserving pieces of the city's rich architectural history. I especially appreciate how Sixes & Sevens maintained its original character, and I hope the rain clears up soon so you can get back to your walks and photography!

    Sometimes we search too hard for meaning 😆 the 6s and 7s address is 7S, 6St haha

    The Sixes and Sevens shot is my favorite. A stable turned into a bar, that granite front is something else.

    Sixes and Sevens is the stop that stuck with me. A stable turned into a bar at 7 S 6th St, the only granite facade in the Center District, and tin ceilings and exposed brick still in place after the COVID closure. That is a lot of history for one address. The Benjamin Rodman House is a close second for me. Sorry about the water in the basement and sunroom after that heavy rain, and I hope the next walk is a dry one.

    How are you, dear friend @tattoodjay?

    I’m sorry you weren’t able to go out for a walk because of the rain—and, above all, that you had water get inside your home; at least it’s nothing to worry about.

    I love this part of the city; the buildings are truly beautiful.

    Excellent shots.

    Have a wonderful weekend.
