The Dawson Building (also known as the Eagles Home) is a historic commercial building located at 1851 Purchase Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts.
Description and history
It is a four-story, brick Classical Revival style building, whose most prominent feature is a large octagonal turret at the corner. It was constructed in 1896 for Benjamin Dawson, a grocer and liquor distributor. In 1923, it was purchased by the New Bedford Aeire #647 Fraternal Order of Eagles. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, and included in the Acushnet Heights Historic District in 1989.[2] The building has since been converted into a 32-unit affordable housing apartment building.[3]
