The Bay View
Residences
A Gloucester landmark, reimagined for modern coastal living. Four distinctive condominium residences are coming to the former Bay View Methodist Church.
A rare conversion.
A limited opportunity.
Some properties are built. Others are reborn.
For generations, the former Bay View Methodist Church has stood along Washington Street as part of Gloucester’s architectural story. Its next chapter will introduce just four condominium residences, designed to respect the character of the original building while creating distinctive homes for modern life.
With only four residences planned, this will never feel like a conventional condominium development. Each home will have its own layout, personality and relationship to the building’s history.
The essentials, at a glance.
Final residence details, finishes and specifications will be released as architectural plans are finalized.

Original character.
An entirely new chapter.
The goal of the conversion is not to erase the building’s past. It is to give that history a new purpose.
The design will pair confirmed original architectural elements with new construction, modern systems and carefully selected finishes. The final result is intended to feel connected to Gloucester’s past without sacrificing the comfort expected in a newly completed home.
A landmark worth preserving.
A transformation worth following.
This visual story is designed to grow with the project — from historic photographs and current conditions to construction progress and final renderings.
