Set across from Government Center at 38 Third Street, the Garment Workers Building carries one of downtown Fall Riverโs most meaningful labor stories. Built in 1930 as the Classical Revival List Building, it was purchased in 1951 by Local 178 of the International Ladiesโ Garment Workersโ Union for its headquarters and health center, helping garment workers from across the region access medical care. Today, the restored building honors that legacy with exposed brick, soaring ceilings and sunlit windows, complemented by dark chestnut cabinetry, bronze finishes, granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances and in-home laundryโall within the National Registerโlisted Third Street Commercial Corridor.
