Description Architectural Classification (enter categories from instructions) Queen Anne Materials (enter categories from instructions) foundation Granite walls Weatherboard Shingle roof _ Asphalt other Met.al Describe present and historic physical appearance. The Hotel Waverly, known as the Touraine Hotel since 1922, is located in the north end of New Bedford, a medium-sized waterfront city in Bristol County, southeastern Massachusetts. The three-and-one-half story Queen Anne commercial structure, designed by local architect Samuel C. Hunt was built in 1901 in this developing French Canadian-populated neighborhood. The structure was originally built as a four-family apartment building with commercial and retail space on the first floor, but in 1911 it was renovated for use as a hotel and cabaret to provide temporary housing and entertainment for visitors and local residents.

Although nearly vacant and partially boarded up since the mid-1970s, the structure remains a bold and essentially unaltered example of the residential and commercial building boom that accompanied New Bedford's growing textile industry during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Hotel Waverly is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Beetle Street and Acushnet Avenue, the main thoroughfare ofretail and commercial activity in New Bedford's north end. Acushnet Avenue runs north-south approximately one-third of a mile inland from and parallel to the Acushnet River to the east. Many of the City's imposing textile mills are located along this route. Acushnet Avenue is densely packed with buildings of mixed commercial, retail, and residential uses.

Many neighboring buildings of the same period and style as the nominated resource, also products of the population and business growth around the turn of the century, have been substantially altered. Nearby side streets are similiarly lined with late nineteenth and early twentieth century multi-family apartment buildings. Approximately six hundred feet to the south of the Hotel Waverly are located interchanges for Interstate Route 195. Blocks of commercial and residential buildings were demolished for the construction of this major highway in 1961, thus increasing the significance of surviving historic buildings such as the Hotel Waverly.

1084-0010 Hotel Waverly New Bedford, MA Section number - 7 Page The Hotel Waverly is a three-and-one-half story Queen Anne building typical o1 commercial edifices of its region and period. The building rests on a granite foundation measuring approximately fifty-two by fifty-six feet, while a circa 1920 addition to the rear measures about fourteen by fifty-two feet. A four-story round tower with conical roof dominates the structure at its southwest corner. The tower is cantilevered out at the second floor, overhanging the corner entrance below, and continues to about five feet above the peak of the roof. Each story of the tower is pierced by five original double-hung wood sash windows with single-pane glazing.

The exterior of the sheathed with decorative wood shingles in an alternating fishscale and fillet (or linear) pattern, and a metal spandrel panel of Colonial Revival influence between the second and third stories. The steeply-pitched hipped roof of the building, nearly pyramidal, houses the fourth story and is clad with dark grey asphalt shingles. The roof is punctuated by three triangular pedimented dormers on each of the north, south, and west sides, and two similiar dormers on the The dormers are clad with decorative wood shingles in a variegated pattern on the front and sides. The projecting pediment of each dormer is supported by small modillions. The central dormer on the west side exhibits paired double-hung sash windows of single-pane glazing, while each of the other dormers has a single window, mostly of two-over-one glazing.

At the cornice line, an entablature surrounds the building on all four sides. Its frieze is decorated with a dentil course, while the slightly projecting cornice is supported by a row of six inch deep modillions. The street level of the primary or west facade along Acushnet Avenue contains the building's two storefronts. The wood-framed storefront at the north end is original and intact. It contains one central door with a two-light transom which is flanked by a large plate glass window on either side. window is topped with three smaller rectangular windows echoing a similarly divided and molded wood kickplate below. Immediately south of this storefront is the entrance to the hotel that has a non-original wooden door within the original opening.

The entrance to the south storefront is at the southwest corner of the building: this doorway is set diagonally at a 45 degree angle to both Acushnet Avenue and Beetle Street. The windows of this storefront wrap around the corner and continue along the south elevation for about five This storefront has seen some mid-twentieth century modification, but retains the exterior dimensions of its original form. On the upper levels, the west facade is essentially symmetrical with five bays, except for the imposing tower at the south end. The central bay contains the simple hotel entrance on the first floor, with paired two-over-one double-hung sash windows on the second and third floors. The roof dormer above this bay also has paired windows rather than the single windows of the others.

The paired windows of the second story are framed with (continued) (PS Fom 10900a United States Department of the Interlor National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet OMB Approvel No. 1024-0018 Section number 7 Page 2 Hotel Waverly New Bedford, MA hree pilasters with simple capitals, and are connected with those of the hird floor by a small shingled roof form with a spandrel panel and dentils. On each side of the central bay is a rounded shallow-projecting bay, each with Showing further crown, while the windows of the third story sit directly beneath the entablature without lintels or crowns. The exterior of the second and third stories is sheathed with wood clapboards on the flat surfaces, and decorative shingles on the projecting bays. The corners of the structure are embellished by fluted pilasters with Ionic capitals.

Similar pilasters are placed at both junctions of the tower with the building. The asymmetrical south elevation faces Beetle Street, and is much less detailed than the primary facade. On the first floor is a small window at the west end that is a continuation of the storefront window of the west The remainder of the exterior is sheathed with wood clapboards. As in the front, there is a slightly projecting cornice between the first and second The second and third stories both contain five irregularly spaced two-over-one original double-hung sash windows, with those of the second floor capped with crowns, and those of the third floor set directly under the entablature without crown molding. Io the rear of the building along the east elevation is a wood-framed, two story addition dating to circa 1920.

An enclosed stairway was later added to the east side of the addition and was removed in October 1987. The addition contains a window on each floor on the south elevation, two doors and three windows on the east facade, and three windows on the north side. The windows, of two-over-one double-hung sash with simple enframements, are all similar to those of the main building. exterior of this addition is sheathed with wood clapboards framed by narrow corner boards. The third story of the east elevation of the main building exhibits the top portion of a square projecting bay that is covered in the lower levels by the two story addition. The bay is framed by fluted pilasters, and capped by a slightly elevated hipped roof. On the first floor of the north side, the building is attached to the next structure by a party wall.

The second and third stories both contain six irregularly spaced windows, similiar in glazing and enframement to those found throughout the building. The interior plan of the Hotel Waverly has been changed numerous times since construction in 1901. The building was originally divided into two storefronts on the street level with the upper floors containing twenty-eight rooms divided into four apartments. When the building was converted into a hotel in 1911, the second floor was made a cabaret, outfitted with a dance floor that is still evident in the framing. The third and fourth floors were (continued) (e8 Form 10000-a Unlted States Department of the Interlor National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number - 7 Page3 OMD Approvel No. 1021-0010 Hotel Waverly New Bedford, MA structurally compromised, necessitating their removal in November 1987.

Interior features are simple, with the main marble staircase serving as the a ble ptatocain ervt lo ao titnad and intact. The Hotel Waverly has been nearly vacant and partially boarded up for ten years to protect it from further deterioration and vandalism. Many windows contain no sash and are open to the environment. The exterior has gone too long without proper maintenance and the protection of paint, and most clapboards, shingles, and pilaster capitals have become extensively deteriorated by the weather. The building is currently undergoing renovation by a non-profit developer in joint venture with a local citizens' group and the New Bedford city government for use as low-to-moderate-income housing. Work is being undertaken with the guidance of the Massachusetts Historical Commission.

The renovation and adaptive reuse of the Hotel Waverly for low to moderate income housing units has brought about many changes to the building. Due to extensive fire and water damage in February 1986, sections of the roof were reconstructed and the entire roof was covered with asphalt roof shingles. The roof ridge cap was replaced with a copper cap which duplicates the original. Roof vents were installed. The wooden gutter, badly deteriorated, was replaced with bronze colored aluminum. All clapboards and cut shingles on bays and dormers were eroded due to years of exposure to the weather. A11 were replaced in kind duplicating exposure and shingle pattern. Plaster Ionic capitals of the engaged pilasters were duplicated in fiberglass where necessary due to erosion. enclosed exterior stairway on the rear of the building (southeast corner) was extensively damaged by fire and was removed.

Remaining original materials on the exterior were the dentilated cornice, pilasters and metal panels in bays and turret. Storefront paneling was replaced in kind duplicating a profile of the original. In order to conform with building codes for residential units all interior plaster walls and ceilings were replaced with 5/8 inch gypsum. create 26 housing units with bathrooms and kitchens the original floor plan was entirely redesigned (see attached plans). Al1 window sashes, ranging from fair to poor condition were replaced with wooden two over one thermopane units. The marble staircase from the first floor entrance to the second floor was retained, as well as the original balusters on the continuation of this staircase to the upper floors.

State significance of property, and justify criteria, criteria considerations, and areas and periods of significance noted above. The Hotel Waverly retains integrity of location, design, material, workmanship, feeling, and association.

Erected in 1901 as a Queen Anne commercial and residential building during the period of intense growth for the north end of the city of New Bedford, it is significant for its association with the area's residential and commercial development. Built and first owned by immigrants of French-Canadian descent, it is important as an example of the presence and contributions of the Franco-American population in the city. Designed by locally prominent architect Samuel C. Hunt, it embodies distinctive characteristics of the structures of its era in New Bedford's north end. The Hotel Waverly thus fulfills criteria A and C of the National Register of Historic Places at the Local level.

New Bedford, Massachusetts, perhaps more widely known for its nineteenth century whaling prosperity, also experienced an historically important era of the cotton textile industry during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The first successful mill, the Wamsutta Mills, was established in 1846, and the industry continued to grow and prosper with the formation of textile companies along the Acushnet River to the north and south of the central city. The great availability of employment to fuel this growing industry attracted large numbers of immigrants to New Bedford as well as other New England mill towns, a few notable examples being Fall River, Holyoke, and Lowe11, Massachusetts; Woonsocket, Rhode Island; and Lewiston, Maine.

French-Canadians began immigrating to this area before the middle of the nineteenth century and came in greater numbers during the last three decades of the nineteenth century and the first two of the twentieth century. Settling predominantly in the north end in areas surrounding the Hotel Waverly, the French-Canadians came in search of employment and opportunity. The construction of the Hotel Waverly in 1901 as an apartment and commercial building reflects these trends of New Bedford's industrial, residential, and commercial expansion.

1 During the last two decades of the nineteenth century, the New Bedford textile industry grew rapidly. Beginning in the 1880s, many New Bedford mil1s branched into the fine cotton cloth industry which distinguished New Bedford rom other New England and Southern textile cities who produced mainly coars goods. In 1928, just prior to the industry's collapse, New Bedford owne 146,000 of the 160,000 fine cotton fabric 1ooms in the country (Boss and Thomas, 1983, pp. 114 and 150). Between 1880 and 1900, fourteen new cotton textile corporations were formed, many of which were located in the north end By 1900 there were 14,000 people employed in the cotton textile industry in the City, and New Bedford ranked third in the country in the textile industry behind Fall River and Lowell, Massachusetts.

Industrial development reached its height between 1900 and 1910 with seventeen new corporations being formed, twelve of those between 1909-10 alone. Fueling this booming industry, immigrants came to New Bedford in great numbers. New Bedford's population more than doubled from 26,840 in 1880 to 62,442 in 1900, at which time, 70% of all people in New Bedford were first or second generation immigrants. During this period, the largest group was of French-Canadian descent. In 1900 they comprised one-third of all foreign-born people in New Bedford, and 40% of the city's mill operatives. Most French-Canadians settled in the Weld Square area, south of the nominated resource, living in housing of the Wamsutta and Grinnell Mills. Known as "Holy Acre," this Catholic ghetto was settled by Italian, Polish, Irish, Middle Eastern, in addition to French-Canadian immigrants.

As industry prospered and immigration continued, the north end expanded farther northward, into areas that had previously been sparsely settled, near the Hotel Waverly. During the first two decades of the twentieth century, the flow of immigrants into the city's textile industry continued. By 1920, one out of two jobs in New Bedford was in the mills, with nine out of ten of those jobs held by immigrants or their children. A significant and rapid period of building construction accompanied the booming textile industry and continuous immigration.

With the erection of commercial, retail, and residential buildings near the mills, the north end developed into a community of its own, with the mills--most significantly Pierce Manufacturing Corporation, New England Cotton Yard Company, Grinnell Manufacturing Company, Wamsutta Mills, Inc., Soule Mills Corporation, and Bristol Manufacturing Company--along the Acushnet River, with the main shopping artery along Acushnet Avenue, and residential neighborhoods all Often residential buildings were jacked up and outfitted with commercial storefronts to take advantage of commercial opportunities. The Hotel Waverly is a product of this construction boom.

Built in 1901 as a four tenement building of twenty-eight rooms with commercial and retail space on the first floor, it served the northward-expanding housing and retail needs (continued) Npo rm 108000 Unlted States Department of the Interlor National Park Service Natlonal Register of Historlc Places Continuation Sheet OMB Approvel No. 10840010 Hotel Waverly New Bedford, MA Section number 8 Page2 of the north end.

Much of the land he purchased was on streets surrounding the Waverly Hotel, namely Bellevue and Acushnet Avenues, and Sawyer and Jean Streets, the latter named for him. He was closely associated with the growth and development of the north end and built and sold many buildings there for profit. He was builder of the Jean-Slocum bridge across the Acushnet River at Howard Street, and was known for operating soup kitchens for striking mill workers in the early twentieth century. A tracing of the property's ownership also reveals its various uses since Shortly after the building's construction, Joseph V. Demers of Worcester, Massachusetts, bought the nominated resource and within months sold it to his mother-in-law, Cordelia D. Vien, also of Worcester. Demers opened a bar on the first floor, and the upper floors were rented out as apartments. Mrs.

Vien (1853-1928) was born in Canada and immigrated as a youth to New England with her family, settling in Grosvenordale, Connecticut. Here she lived and worked as a weaver in the town's cotton textile mill. Around 1874 she married Francois Vien; by 1880 she and her husband had moved to New Bedford, living on Purchase Street while Mr. Vien worked at the Wamsutta The Viens invested their money wisely in land and buildings in the upper north end, which at that time was only sparsely settled. increased their real estate holdings and were among the largest property owners in the north end when the building boom hit in the early twentieth The Viens moved to Worcester, and later to Lowell, Massachusetts, where they owned several hotels, while still retaining their interests in New Around 1900 the Viens returned to New Bedford, and Mrs. Vien and her son Eugene H.

Vien became proprietors of the Park Hotel at the intersection of Acushnet Avenue and Weld Street in the north end. In 1911 Eugene H. Vien began to handle his mother's real estate, and undertook the renovation of the resource, naming it the Hotel Waverly. The first floor was converted for use as a saloon; a cabaret with a dance floor was placed on the second; and the third and fourth floors remodeled as hotel rooms. The reminiscents of Earle D. Wilson, writing for the October 27, 1946 issue of the Sunday New Bedford Standard-Times, recalls that the hotel was "good for many an exciting newspaper yarn, back in the days before prohibition...particularly on Saturday nights it was something on the wild side." In 1922 the Hotel Waverly was bought from Cordelia D. Vien by Samuel Goldys (1868-1946), a Russian native living in New Bedford.

Goldys continued operating the hotel, changing its (continued) (p8 Form 109000 United States Department of the Interlor National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet OMa Approvel No. 1024-0010 Hotel Waverly Section number. 8 Page. 3 New Bedford, MA WUEEE As a prominent Queen Anne structure, the Hotel Waverly embodies characteristics of late nineteenth and early twentieth century commercial buildings. The architect achieved a visually-pleasing blend of the asymmetry and variety of form and texture of the Queen Anne, and the detailing of the Colonial Revival. was the predominant architectural style during the period in the area, and the streets of the north end were lined with similarly towered and articulated structures. The Hotel Waverly remains as one of the most well-preserved examples of Queen Anne commercial architecture in the north end community.

Samuel C. Hunt (1858-1909), the architect for the Hotel Waverly building, was one of New Bedford's few local architects, working in the last decades of the nineteenth century and the first years of the twentieth century. Hunt was born in 1858 and was educated in New Bedford. At the age of sixteen he was apprenticed to learn carpentry and soon became a construction foreman. During the 1870s and 1880s he was a well-established contractor and builder in the New Bedford area. By 1891 he practiced as a full-time architect, designing many private residences and public buildings; his most well-known accomplishments were the 1908-1910 New Bedford Registry of Deeds, the 1889 Duff Building, and the renovation of the old library building into the present City Hall after a fire of 1906.

Hunt's local significance can be more readily interpreted by the fact that he was the principal architect for the city of New Bedford during the active years of his career. He was responsible for the design of several school buildings and other public buildings in New Bedford. Hunt was closely associated with politics during the latter years of his life and served on the board of Aldermen from 1895-96. The Hotel Waverly, built during a period of intense growth in New Bedford's French-Canadian north end, contributes to our knowledge of the growth and development of one of the city's ethnic communities. Designed by locally prominent architect Samuel C. Hunt, the Hotel Waverly stands today as one of the finest examples of commercial and residential Queen Anne architecture in the north end.
