Long Island Sound to Buzzards Bay - Fairhaven Houses


The architecture of churches has often been featured in this blog.  Why is the image of a church placed in a blog about houses, you may ask.  It is not a church.  It once was.  It has been repurposed into a private home.  Many have had dreams of finding an old church and turning it into a home.  Someone accomplished that in Fairhaven.  Good location, too - right across from the library and town hall.

The new purpose of this building is nicely announced on the front of the building where bulletins were once posted.


Fairhaven must have had a large growth period in the late 1700's and early 1800's, as many homes in the old section of town were built during that time.  A variety of architecture is on exhibit.  

The home architecture of Fairhaven is presented below, without comment, to allow the reader to take a bike ride through town and enjoy the scenery.
