Notes
  • Significance: 30 and 32 Atlantic Block are the finest surviving examples of Lawrence's original corporation boardinghouses of the 1840s and '50s; Unit 30, in particular, contains what is probably the best-preserved corporation boardinghouse interior remaining in the entire lower Merrimack Valley. Erected in 1847 as the eastern two units of the Atlantic Cotton Mills Corporation's Boardinghouse Block 4, these two boardinghouse units at 401 and 403 Canal Street, along with four very similar units erected for the Bay State Mills at 269-275 Canal Street, are all that remain of the dozens of corporation-owned boardinghouse blocks which once lined the streets of Lawrence. And while all four of the surviving Bay State units have been gutted for use as a warehouse, the two remaining Atlantic units are still, in large part, intact. The only major alterations to the two Atlantic units have been the removal of their original, shared rear ell, and the conversion of the ground floor of Unit 32 (the corner unit) into first, a store, and now, a bar.
