The Times and Olympia Buildings are a pair of historic buildings at 908-912 and 880-898 Purchase Street in central New Bedford, Massachusetts. The Times Building, also known as the Slocum or Evans Building, stands at 908-912 Purchase Street, and was built in 1897 to a design by Nat. C. Smith. Originally a furniture store, it was home to the New Bedford Times until the 1950s.[2] The Olympia Building stands next door; it was designed by Mowll & Rand of Boston and built in 1921. It is a fourstory brick building, with shops on the ground floor and offices above.[3]
