Barns Along the Byway

OK, so maybe a better title would be “Hearse House Along the Highway”, but I didn’t think that had quite the same ring to it……. It’s still quite pretty in its own way.

Open window

Posted on by Catherine

I noticed the open window because a bird hopped in. I didn’t stop to see what ensued but I was reminded about a GMG reader question: Who remembers Cher Ami and homing pigeons of Gloucester?

There’s a 2nd  little pane missing on the Main Street side.

 

What’s in a name?

The 1810 brick building, Gloucester’s first, at the corner of 2 Main and 3 Washington Streets, now features Tonno Restaurant. The exterior has remained relatively unchanged since it was built in 1810 by Col. James Tappan. On the inside it’s been mixed use more often than not (various businesses, restaurants and lodgings). As a result it’s gone through a lot of rebranding: Puritan House, Tappan’s Hotel, Atlantic House, and Capt Bills are a few of the names associated with this historic structure. The Blackburn Tavern signs were added in 1978 for a restaurant.

Still Standing

The brick building at the other end of Main Street with Halibut Point Restaurant & Pub was Howard Blackburn’s actual tavern.

Fun fact: Col. Tappan taught young Daniel Webster.

Paint Factory From Janice LeBrun

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Good morning!

I was doing some research on the old paint factory, trying to get more information on it, when I came across your website. Fascinating pictures and articles! So, a few years ago I was on a whale watch out of Gloucester, and coming into the harbor, I snapped the landscape that was breathtaking, one of those photos was the paint factory. I took that photo recently and digitally painted it, it has won several awards from around the world. I thought I would share it with you!

Thank you and now I am a fan of Good Morning Gloucester!
