If you are an experienced real estate agent or broker and love working with people and showing homes, we invite you to explore the attractive compensa-tion packages and professional market-ing materials that we offer at Howe Allen Realty, the fastest growing boutique real estate brokerage firm on the Southcoast.

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

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.

Built in 1850, this example of Greek Revival architecture has had an interesting and note-worthy past. Once the home of Dr. George Atwood, former president of the Fairhaven Library Association and town doctor, it first occupied the land where the current Town Hall is situated, and was later moved by the Rogers family to its current location. It is an excellent example of mid-19th century archi-tecture. There are many carefully-executed renovations and additions such as the kitchen wing with cupola, energy efficient improve-ments and modern conveniences such as sec-ond-floor laundry room and 3 full bathrooms. The corner lot offers the onlooker excellent views of its decorative elements and stately presence. The first floor offers a parlor and a half, a keeping room, a large dining room and a first floor bedroom with ensuite. The sec-ond floor features 3 more bedrooms, 2 bath-rooms, upper sitting room and laundry room. An unfinished 3rd floor offers the new owner an opportunity for expansion.

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's 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.

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. Beginning 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.

Historical Perspective | Unitarian Universalist Memorial Church

Historical Perspective | Unitarian Universalist Memorial Church

The Unitarian Memorial Church in Fairhaven Massachusetts was built, fi-nanced and donated in 1904 by Henry

H. Rogers in memory of his mother, Mary El-dredge Huttleston. The church was designed by Boston architect Charles Brigham in an English Gothic Revival style. The church, par-ish house and former parsonage (now Harrop Center) of the Unitarian Universalist Society are placed to form three sides of a quad-rangle. Granite quarried from Fort Phoenix in Fairhaven, with Indiana limestone decorative carvings dominate the exterior while marble and limestone carvings dominate the interior. All of the stonework was created by Italian craftsmen brought to Fairhaven by Rogers.

All the woodwork in the sanctuary is English bog oak carved by Bavarian craftsmen. No two carvings are alike on the thirty-two pews, the ornate pulpit, the organ pipe cases, the choir screen or the doors. In the rafters above the pews are ten wooden angels covered in beaten gold. Each ten foot high angel holds articles symbolizing ten attributes of the in-tellectual life. The south entrance has twelve bronze symbols of the zodiac inlaid in the marble floor.

At the south entrance to the sanctuary are the great bronze doors, extremely rich in design. Each leaf is solid bronze and weighs

2 1/4 tons. Following the outline of each leaf-is a series of niches. Those on the exterior are canopied, each containing a finely modeled figure nine inches high. The thirty-eight stat-ues represent great characters in the history of Christianity, covering a period of nineteen centuries.

The stained glass windows are the work of American Impressionist artist Robert Reid. The theme of the Nativity is depicted in the Me-morial Window and the colors of the windows range from cool blues to warm earth tones through the nine clerestory windows from East to West. Seven of these windows are ti-tled with one of the Beatitudes from the Gos-

pels. The setting of the sermon is illuminated in the glorious twenty-four foot high Sermon on the Mount window located on the west wall. Two years were spent in their design and execution. These stained glass windows were Reid’s most prized work, a masterpiece, and his only effort in stained glass.

Today the sanctuary is used for weekly servic-es, and is available to rent for weddings. The beautiful parish hall is also available for recep-tions and other events. Call (508)992-7081 for information about reserving the church for your special event.

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.

Maria Migirdicyan

Maria began practicing real estate in 2006. At the time she lived in Wakefield, MA and practiced in a fast-paced realty group until 2011 when she planted new roots in Fairhaven. She is very excited to call this lovely town her home. She looks forward to helping her clients attain their real estate goals of purchasing or selling property. She is very enthusiastic about helping people achieve their dreams, and she will go above and beyond to get the job done. Her work ethic and principles define her: they include sincerity, reliability and confidentiality. Maria has worked in various careers over the years, but the one thing they all have in common is meeting the needs of clients, and exceed-ing expectations. Client satisfaction is truly her goal. Maria has two grown daughters and a stepson. She resides in Fairhaven with her husband.

Anne Stein

Anne’s formal training in film production and veterinary technical science certainly has pre-pared her well for her thriving pet sitting and dog walking business, but why did Howe feel she would also make a great addition to his brokerage. According to Howe “if you can train a monkey to reheat a frozen din-ner in the microwave you can do just about anything…” Anne has worked with Howe for nearly 6 years and although his business rarely requires those talents he finds that Anne brings so much more to the firm. Her ability to listen learn and help are skills Howe cannot imagine his firm being without and clients always appreciate her spirit, tenacity, and knowledge. Anne knows what makes a home and in everything she does she brings that knowledge and caring to the table.
