The Dawson Building is a historic commercial building located at 1851 Purchase Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts. It is a four-story brick structure, whose most prominent feature is a large octagonal turret at the corner. The Classical Revival building was constructed in 1896 for Benjamin Dawson, a grocer and liquor distributor. In 1923 it was purchased by the New Bedford Aeire #647 Fraternal Order of Eagles. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, and included in the Acushnet Heights Historic District in 1989.[2] The building has since been converted into apartments.
