About this home

The Trinitarian Church Home, erected in 1883, designed by R.H. Stack, and built by L.H. Howland, is a Downtown New Bedford landmark, architectural stand-out, and historically significant to the district. This site could be adapted and re-used to compliment a rapidly redeveloping core business and residential district, with access to commuter rail service, bus service, and Seastreak Fast Ferry service to MV and ACK. Conversely, the property could maintain its present use and enhance the services it is providing to the community. Notable developments near the subject property include the abutting Zeiterion Theatre and the property formerly known as The Star Store College of Visual and Performing arts. Parking is available in the parking garage across from the subject - the lot adjacent is not attached to tis property.
