Morgan Block and Good Earth Pottery, Bellingham
The Morgan Block, erected by Phillip and Mary Ann Morgan in 1889, showcases the architectural ingenuity of its time. Originally built with wood, the Morgans later enhanced its exterior with a brick veneer, lending an air of elegance to the building's fa莽ade facing Harris Avenue and 10th Street.
Throughout its storied history, the Morgan Block has been home to various businesses and residential spaces. The ground floor housed retail establishments, including the Baltimore Oyster House and J.W. Hanson's men's clothing store, reflecting the vibrant commercial scene of early Bellingham.

Today, the Morgan Block serves as the home of the Community Food Co-op and Good Earth Pottery, a testament to its enduring legacy and adaptive reuse. Good Earth Pottery, specializing in locally handmade pottery and ceramic art, occupies a significant portion of the building, offering visitors a diverse selection of functional and decorative ceramic wares. With over 35 curated makers represented in the gallery, patrons can explore a range of artistic expressions, from traditional to innovative techniques.
