Acushnet Heights Historic District
Acushnet Heights Historic District, Residential historic district in New Bedford, United States.
The Acushnet Heights Historic District spans 20 acres of densely built urban area with wooden frame houses and brick commercial structures from the 1840s period.
This neighborhood emerged in the 1860s as New Bedford transformed into a significant maritime port, providing housing for workers employed at the Wamsutta Mills.
The district includes four 19th-century churches and numerous residences that display Colonial Revival, Queen Anne, and Late Victorian architectural elements.
Visitors can explore the district on foot, with Clasky Common Park serving as a central reference point between Purchase Street and County Street.
The Union Street Railway Carbarn remains as one of the notable structures in this working-class neighborhood that developed during New Bedford's industrial expansion.
