Terminal Building site listed for sale for 1M

The former site of the beloved Terminal Building in Fairhaven has been listed for sale at $1 million, marking a pivotal moment for the community. Once a two-story, wood-framed structure that stood for 135 years, it was a gathering spot until a devastating fire in December 2023 took its life and that of its owner, Nate Breaux. The current owners, Kirke and Jim Hestad, recognize the significant challenges in rebuilding but express hope for the future of the site. Covering 50-by-100 square feet and situated in the Fairhaven Historic District, the property has the potential for a four-story mixed-use development. The real estate listing emphasizes this sale as a rare chance to restore a piece of Fairhaven’s history and create a lasting legacy.

Jim Hestad shared his enthusiasm, stating that they look forward to seeing the property thrive again under new ownership. As the community longs for a gathering space that honors the legacy of the Terminal Building, the potential for revitalization remains strong. This listing not only reflects a financial opportunity but also a chance to reconnect the community with its historical roots.
