CITY HALL
133 William St.
(508) 979-1400

Built in 1857, the building that now houses New Bedford's City Hall originally served as the city's library. City Hall at that time was the granite building located directly across William Street, the current Downtown Library. In 1910, however, the two structures switched uses. The library moved across the street to its present location and municipal offices were centralized at 133 William St.
Two features are especially worth noting. The large sculptured pediment over the main entrance features the city seal and motto (Lucem diffundo: I spread the light) surrounded by symbols of the city's economic history: whaling, textiles and transportation. Inside, a unique semicircular elevator installed in 1906 is the oldest working elevator in the United States. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

CUSTOM HOUSE
Corner of Second St. and William St.
(508) 994-5158

This granite Greek Revival building has served as New Bedford's Custom House since 1836, making it the oldest Custom House in continuous operation in the United States. During the heyday of the whaling era, it serviced the nation's fourth largest seaport. Only New York, Boston and New Orleans registered more tonnage than the combined whaling and merchant fleets of New Bedford and its nearby ports.

54th REGIMENT MASS. VOLUNTARY INFANTRY PLAZA
Corner of William St. & Acushnet Ave.

On February 10, 1863, after President Lincoln’s order to enlist regiments of black soldiers to fight in the Civil War, a recruiting office was opened near this spot. The men who volunteered formed Company C of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment. Later recruits were mustered into the 55th Regiment, 5th Cavalry and U.S. Navy. On July 18, 1863, the 54th Regiment took part in the attack on Fort Wagner, South Carolina. Their bravery in that battle did much to silence those who had doubted the military qualities of the black soldier. One of those wounded in that battle was New Bedford’s Sgt. William H. Carney, who later became the nation’s first black Congressional Medal of Honor winner.
