The Southcoast of Massachusetts offers so much to the traveler and resident alike. From the secluded beaches and preserved colonial architecture to the abundant cultural offer-ings, this often overlooked coastline of the Commonwealth is a treasure to discover and experience.

Fairhaven, originally the eastern part of the Dartmouth Purchase, seceded and incorpo-rated in 1812. It is a delightful coastal seaport village with an irregular and captivating coast-line. Sconticut Neck, Wilbur’s Point and West Island offer a view to the more recent past when during the 20th century warm weather cottages and cabins began to dot its shores and the warm waters of Buzzard’s Bay would entice bathers from June through September. The areas of East Fairhaven, Shaws Cove andLittle Bay offer yet another perspective for those who call Fairhaven home with mid-cen-tury and farmhouse style residences and spec-tacular vistas from the hills along the coastline. Although over the years Fairhaven has grown in size, it has maintained its small town char-acteristics. From the annual Homecoming Day fair to Revolutionary war re-encampments, history seems to repeat itself. Whether you

Fairhaven - A South Coast Beauty

have found your home in Fairhaven, or are simply visiting, you undoubtedly recognize how special this town and community are.

The Center of Fairhaven as it is dubbed today was originally referred to as Fairhaven Vil-lage according to historic maps, newspaper articles and various books written about this part of town. The Village features architec-turally fascinating buildings of yesteryear. No-table examples are the French Gothic Town Hall, the Italian Renaissance Library and the Memorial Church, an impressive example of English Vertical Gothic. One cannot help but feel transported to another part of the World. These public buildings were given to the town by native son Henry Huttleston Rogers in the late 19th and early 20th century

Well-preserved Greek Revival homes are in-terspersed with Colonial, Northeast Cape Style and Bungalow residences. A balanced blend of young families, retirees and profes-sionals call the village home. The “Walking” village center offers a glimpse of its maritime past as well as its present, yet is not far from the modern conveniences that are part of twenty-first-century living. Big-box stores, service stations and grocers are all just a mile away, yet nicely grouped in the commercial district.

Fort Phoenix, perched atop granite ledge, served as a strategic site and provided defense during the first naval battle of the Revolution-ary war. In Summer and Autumn historic re-

Fairhaven Center and Fort Phoenix

encampments play out as a method of teach-ing younger generations about Fairhaven’s history. Fort Phoenix Beach, a bathing pavil-ion, sandy beach and tennis and basketball courts provide for athletic and leisure enjoy-ment. Much of the granite used in the con-struction of the public buildings in Fairhaven was quarried from nearby Fort Phoenix. H. H. Rogers favored the Fort Phoenix area him-self and it was the former site of his 88 room mansion which was unfortunately dismantled in the early 20th century. Some of the archi-tectural elements from this grand estate can still be found around town.

Oxford Village, also known colloquially as Poverty Point, is the earliest settlement in what was later to become Fairhaven in 1812. Because the only bridge access across the Achusnet to New Bedford was located on Howland or Coggeshall street, many set-tlers chose this part of town in which to build their homes. The first public school in town was located on North Street and is now af-fectionately referred to as the Stone School. This historic area of town was the center of maritime commerce into the 1800s until the construction of the Fairhaven/New Bedford bridge was completed and many of the busi-nesses and residents moved south to what is now called Fairhaven Center. This exodus of commerce and the wealth that went with it gave rise to the name “Poverty Point.”

By the mid 19th century, Oxford Village was primarily residential. Today neighbor-hood features excellent examples of Federal, Colonial-revival, Shingle and Cape Cod-style homes, many of which have been lovingly restored to their original glory. Poverty Point offers excellent access to the Interstate High-way system and route 6 as well as the bridges to New Bedford. Neighborhood identity, like other parts of Fairhaven is quite strong and is evidenced by the care its residents give to their homes in this historic part of town.

Oxford Village

Many notable people called this part of town home including Joseph Bates Jr. (founder of the Seventh day Adventist Church,) Joshua Slocum (Captain of the Spray, the vessel he used to become the first person to sail around the World alone), Manjiro Nakahama (the first Japanese person to live in America) and Charles Gifford (noted marine artist).

West IslandWest Island was named for Stephen West, the son-in-law of John Cooke. Notable as one of the earliest vacation communities in North America, the Wampanoag tribe used to spend their summers here, bringing their cattle over the tidal causeway to graze on the pastures. Today a paved road and a modern sturdy causeway transport traffic on to the island.

In the 1940s, West Island was laid out in a modern summer community called "Fairhav-en Estates." Today's West Island is a blend of summer cottages passed down through the generations and year-round homes from modest to grand. Beautiful beaches surround the island. On the south end of the island, Town Beach features beautiful stretches of sandy beach with views to the Bourne bridge and Falmouth. A WWII era submarine watch tower still stands there as a testament to Fairhaven's marine history, and has become an icon to West Island. The beach at the southern-most end of West Island has been considered by many to be among the most beautiful in all of coastal New England. A ma-rina and boat ramp are located just over the causeway on "Long Island." Two-thirds of the island is a state preserve, with hiking trails for exploration. West Island provides the feel-ing of being "away from it all" but is within minutes of modern shopping conveniences.

The Beach Communities

Wilbur PointNamed for Horatio Nelson Wilbur, a descen-dant of the 17th century Wilbur family of Bos-ton, this waterfront community was originally the family farm. The Delano family cemetery can be found there on Sconticut Neck Road. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's moth-er's family were Fairhaven natives, and the family homestead today is a Bed and Break-fast in Fairhaven Town center.

Sconticut NeckMany beaches can be found along the neck off either side of the Sconticut Neck Road. During prohibition the neck was notorious for "rum runners", since the many pathways to the water provided an ideal location to sneak illegal liquor onto shore. Today you can lose yourself on one of the beaches. Many differ-ent neighborhoods are located on the neck, from new suburban style sub developments to established summer retreats.

Pet Stories

When my youngest child was 11, he announced to me that he was "the only boy in America who didn't have a dog." While that was a bit dramatic, he did have to contend with four older sis-ters, so I agreed it was time for a dog. However, I had two conditions. First, we would rescue a dog, and secondly, it would be a beagle or beagle mix. I grew up with beagles, and since I had already observed that it was always the mom who ended up taking care of the dog, I wanted a breed that I knew and loved. In November of 2004, we walked into a shelter and saw a small, malnourished beagle sitting in the corner of her crate and shaking life a leaf. We knew we had found our dog. We named her Ruthie in honor of the "curse of the Babe (Babe Ruth)" having been broken when the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004.Thus begins the book of Ruth.

The combination of inexperienced dog owners and Ruthie's phenomenal sense of smell led to some crazy moments of running through the center of Fairhaven chasing after her as she would escape through any door left carelessly open, but after lots of love, treats, and the in-stallation of an "Invisible Fence," it be-came impossible to remember life with-out her. In short order, Ruthie was joined by a sister, "Georgie, a beagle/harrier mix, and a brother, Herman, an Ameri-can Foxhound. Like Ruthie, both were rescued, and we were the proud own-ers of our own pack of hounds named after the Babe-George Herman Ruth! It seemed like our happy routine of walks, meals, treats, howling, snuggling, and of course smelling would go on forever.

This past spring, we discovered that Ruthie had a tumor on her adrenal gland. If the tumor were not removed, we would certainly lose her, but for an ap-

proximately 13 year old dog, the surgery was not without risks. Ruthie survived the surgery, but the aftermath brought many complications. We spent the sum-mer battling through seizures, struggling to get her medication right, and running regularly to our incredible vets at Cape-way Veterinary Hospital.We came close to losing her, but she always came back to us. It is a complicated routine to keep our Ruthie going, but now that we have a handle on her four medications, special diet, and daily subcutaneous fluids, she still enjoys many things, including her walks, although some days I push her in her new red stroller!

Throughout this journey, my mantra has been as long as she is not in pain and is still Ruthie, we will continue treat-ment. Ruthie has always been a very vo-cal hound, and I have often said that I fully expect a word to come out of her before she departs this earth. Now that that time is drawing near, I pray Ruthie will tell me clearly when it is time to go.And on November 5, 2015, Ruthie told us it was time to go.

North Fairhaven

North Fairhaven was one of the earliest set-tled areas of Fairhaven. Its most prominent landowner was John Cooke, an original May-flower passenger, who settled there about 1662. The site of Cooke’s homestead and his garrison are marked as historical spots. The area was primarily farmland until the 1890s when the Coggeshall Street Bridge opened al-lowing an easy commute between Fairhaven and the textile mills in New Bedford. The bridge brought about a population boom with French-Canadian and Portuguese fami-lies building homes, schools, churches and a small business district by 1925.

Today much of the property in North Fairhav-en is residential, with a few restaurants and other businesses scattered along Main Street. Livesey Park on Glenhaven Ave. offers recre-ational opportunities with its ball fields, play-ground, tennis courts and skateboard park. Dattco, the commuter bus line to Boston, is conveniently located on Sycamore Street. Mega bus also operates from the Dattco ter-minal with direct, affordable service to New York City. St. Mary’s Church serves the Ro-man Catholic population of North Fairhaven and the Church of the Good Shepherd (Epis-copal) is also located there.

North and East Fairhaven

East Fairhaven

Settled during the second half of the 1600s by members of the Delano and Jenney fami-lies, East Fairhaven maintained it rural farming atmosphere much longer than the rest of the town. The main roads in East Fairhaven once connected large farms. Begi Studio, 1 bath, outdoor shower, private beach, window AC, wifi, cable TV, washer and dryer.VRBO 480386 nning in the mid-twentieth century some of those farms were subdivided for residential housing. Stone walls and open fields are still quite plentiful in the area and a few family farms survive.

What is now part of US Route 6 running through East Fairhaven was originally “the Mattapoisett Road” and still later a well-traveled route for vacationers headed to Cape Cod. Some of the older commercial build-ings along the road were first built to cater to those seasonal travelers. There is saltwa-ter shoreline along the southern edge of East Fairhaven and some properties near Shaw’s Cove and Little Bay offer picturesque water views. The East Fairhaven School, opened in 2007, serves about half of the town’s elemen-tary school children. The Mariner soccer fields and Shaw Road little league complex are both located in East Fairhaven.

By Christopher Richard,edited by Tim Evans

In April of 1798 a group of fourteen men gathered with the objective of building a private school to advance young people to a higher level of learning.

They were among the most prominent men in the villages of Fairhaven and Oxford—merchants, civic leaders and-churchmen. This was before Fairhaven split from New Bedford.

The New Bedford Academy’s original location was on the west side of Main Street halfway between the villages of Fairhaven and Oxford—just south of

what is today a small veteran’s park at the southwest corner of Main Street and Huttleston Avenue.

The first floor of the Academy had two classrooms. The boys’ class was on the west side of the central corridor, the girls’ on the east. The second story of the building was one large meeting hall with a seating capacity of about two-hundred persons.

The Academy was first opened for class-es on May 1, 1800. For close to forty years classes were held there. The curric-

ulum generally included studies in Eng-lish, French, Greek, Latin, mathematics, music and drawing. One advertisement from 1837 notes that “particular atten-tion will be given to the culture of the moral character.” Near the beginning of the school’s existence, this well-rounded education cost $2 per quarter.

Schooling was only part of the Acad-emy’s function. The second floor hall played an important role as a meeting place for civic, religious and social func-tions.

When the War of 1812 loomed and Fairhaven and New Bedford were divid-ed over their support for the war, rallies were held at the Academy. When war was actually declared, Captain Joseph Gleason Jr. advertised in the local news-paper that the residents of Fairhaven Village were summoned for the pur-pose of forming volunteer companies to repel the British invasion. Militia units also drilled on the lawn of the Academy throughout the war.

In 1815, the Academy’s operators gave Joseph Bates Sr. the “whole care and superintendence” of the school. The following year, it was voted to allow the upstairs hall to be rented for reli-gious meetings at a rate of $2 a meet-ing, provided the minister was someone of good character. On November 30, 1820, a meeting was held to form a new church which later became the Unitarian Church. They held their services in the Academy until 1832, when the Wash-ington Street Meeting House was built.

During the early 1840s the use of the Academy building as a school came to an end. There were public district schools by this time as well as a number of private

schools. In 1841, the proprietors put the Fairhaven Academy up for sale by auc-tion. All interest in it was bought by Samuel Borden. His home, later owned by his grandson Hon. John A. Hawes, was just south of the building.

It was Hawes who brought activity back to the building in the 1870s. Hawes was a lawyer, state senator and the first com-modore of the New Bedford Yacht Club. He also fancied himself as a patron of the arts. He refurbished the Academy’s sec-ond floor, dividing it into two rooms. The larger east room was set up as a music hall, with a grand piano, a custom-made pipe organ and seating for an audience of about one hundred and twenty five. The smaller room was outfitted as a bil-liard parlor—no doubt for the better cul-tivated members of the billiard playing crowd.

Following the death of John Hawes in 1883, the Academy fell into disuse. For years it was simply a large storage building. In the early 1900’s its fate was in question due to the relocation of the eastern end of the new Fairhaven-New Bedford Bridge. The Academy sat too close to the bridge’s new path. In 1907, the year after the new high school was completed, Henry Huttleston Rogers had the venerable building moved to a new foundation at its present location. It was then placed in the care of the Fairhaven Improvement Association.

Within a few years, the Academy Build-ing became the home of the newly-formed Fairhaven Colonial Club. The group, formed with a mission to pre-serve the town’s historical artifacts, was responsible for its care until 1975 when the responsibility of the Academy trans-

ferred back to the town. It has been overseen by the Fairhaven Historical Commission since that time.

In October of 1992, following a fund-raising effort to help restore the Acad-emy and rebuild its cupola, the build-ing was opened as the Museum of Fairhaven History by the Fairhaven His-torical Society, Inc. Today you can view the museum and historically preserved classroom.

Fairhaven’s Visitors Center and Office of Tourism is also located on the first floor of the building. The Visitor Center and the Museum of Fairhaven History hours can be found on the Town of Fairhaven website and at www.fairhaventours.com.

Howe Allen

Howe Allen Realty began when a 4-year old Howe Allen, the firm’s owner and founder, tagged along with his mother. She was a real estate agent, and Howe accompanied her when she was conducting open houses and showing properties. Fast forward 20 years and Howe pursued a similar path to his moth-er’s and now has been involved in the real estate industry for over a quarter of a cen-tury. He is excited to be fulfilling a dream of owning a brokerage firm which specializes in delivering services that are above and beyond those of traditional real estate firms. Howe also pursued a corporate career for almost 20 years. This experience has proven to be very important and useful in running his own business. Prior to opening his own firm, he worked for Sotheby’s International Realty and was one of the top producing agents for that firm. Howe and his husband, Tim Evans are proud to live in the Fairhaven walking village with their two Jack Russell Terriers, Dutch and Cheer.

Tim Evans

Tim Evans’ passion for homes is second only to his love of music. At the very early age of eight, Tim began developing his musical tal-ent studying piano and performing in various choral groups. Today, Tim continues his musi-cal pursuits in singing with the choir at the Fairhaven Memorial Church and the Sippican Choral Society in addition to accompanying various soloists at the piano in Boston and the surrounding area. He is also the music direc-tor for the annual production of “A Christmas Carol” at Worcester’s Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts. Tim initially starting working in real estate to help his husband Howe, but has found that his interest runs deeper, and like other associates at Howe Allen Realty, he has found a passion for helping others with their real estate needs. If a piano is present at a listing, you may be able to hear a classical piece or a strain of a show tune as you check out the house.
