Not Just Anywhere: The Story of WHALE and the Rescue of New Bedford's Waterfront Historic District
Description:
Picture the "Whaling City" in the days of Melville's Moby Dick, busy streets lined with shops and counting houses; docks bursting with the activities of whalers. New Bedford is the setting and Not Just Anywhere is the triumphant story of the preservation of this rich slice of New England history.
Fascinating reading for anyone interested in historic preservation, architecture, urban studies, or regional history, Not Just Anywhere looks at one of the most challenging restoration projects ever attempted in New England - the creation of a living, working museum in our city streets. Readers will learn how individuals and an organization called WHALE banded together during the onslaught of urban renewal and inner city demolition, to stop the bulldozers and preserve a city's unique architectural history.
