Some cool old buildings in Fairhaven MA

Good Morning
This post is a follow on from my Wednesday walk post the other day where i mentioned they had some cool old buildings and I will share some of them in this post

Starting with this what I thought was a church, I looked for a sign to see what church it was but did not see anything which I found strange.

but when perparing this post i did some searchign online and found out indeed it was a chuch, a former Methodist church built in 1841, but it has now been transformed into a stunning house. The property boasts three floors, a commercial-grade elevator, and an unfinished space that was once the church's function hall., bet it must look pretyt nice inside
you can see it still has the chrch signboard outside but it is blank and I now know why
Next up is the Fairhaven Town Hall

The brick and stone High Victorian Gothic hall was designed by Charles Brigham and built in 1892. It was given to the town by Henry Huttleston Rogers, who also made other significant contributions to the town, including the library. The building's granite trim elements were quarried in St. George, New Brunswick and Red Beach, Maine

I will share more shots of it in a future post, the same for most of the other buildings in this post

and next up we have the Millicent lIbrary building

it was was donated to the town by the family of Millicent Gifford Rogers, the youngest daughter of Abbie Gifford and wealthy industrialist Henry Huttleston Rogers. Young Millicent had died of heart failure in 1890 when she was barely seventeen years old. The library was dedicated on January 30, 1893. It was designed by Charles Brigham in the Richardsonian Romanesque style.
