10th Street transformation in 10 years

<< Back to archives | Friday, December 29, 2006

As the McKenzie Square apartment building nears completion, the new look of 10th Street becomes clear - three solid blocks of buildings.  The above view looks north, with all brick Harris Square condos on the far side of the photo.  The photo below looks south from the other end of 10th. 



Just beyond the Village Inn is the Shering building, built in 1903.  In 1997, the Shering was the only building on 10th Street.  That year, Ken Imus built the Inn as Fairhaven’s first hotel.  Then Troy Muljat headed up the development for the two residential buildings with retail spaces on the ground floors.  Our historic district is evolving into a historic core within a larger Fairhaven commercial district.  With many more folks calling Fairhaven their home, our district is changing character.  Hopefully we will keep our our penchant for fun, our spirit of cooperation and our ability to work together in a friendly manner.  Those qualities are what make Fairhaven worthwhile.  Happy New Year everyone.
