Moreland Terrace New Bedford Walking Tour, Much Overlooked Neighborhood

Moreland Terrace is one of the most interesting housing developments in New Bedford and home to some of the most beautiful and well-maintained homes in the area. Development began when Leander Plummer, who owned a large estate on Hawthorn Street, called Moreland, decided to develop his property in the late 1880s. Lot sales and development continued until almost 1930.

Moreland was a major departure from much of the development in New Bedford in that it provided the city’s upper middle class with traditional designs in a suburban-style setting. Lots were large for New Bedford and houses were constructed with considerable setbacks.

Bruce Barnes guides us on this New Bedford Preservation Society tour around the Moreland Terrace development while highlighting its history and showing us some of the most important and architecturally intriguing houses – Colonial, Victorian, even Mid-century American. Learn about this fascinating area of New Bedford, which is off the beaten trail of the normal whaling and textile centric tourist sights.
