Notes
  • Significance: The Delano oil works appear on the earliest (1834) maps of New Bedford. The works were typical of the sort built in the area after 1810, following the style of houses built by the Quaker whaling merchants - four square, with dutch cap roofs. The plant was built of basement contained granite column supports, which were unusual for the time. The plant was, for many years at the end of the nineteenth century, the largest processor of whale oil in the world and it was at the time of it closing in 1926 the last whale refinery in the country.
