Bourne Counting House
One Merrill's Wharf
New Bedford, MA 02740

Built between 1843 and 1847 by whaling vessel master Captain Edward Merrill, this large granite building once housed the counting rooms of whaling merchant Jonathan Bourne.

Situated on the historic New Bedford waterfront, the building also served in making ship sails as the Durant Sail Loft.

The room on the top-floor provides panoramic views of the New Bedford harbor.
