Notes
  • Significance: The early, typical boardinghouse was erected during Lowell's rapid development as the nation's first great manufacturing center that began in the early 19th century. The structure was a part of the comprehensive building program of the Merrimack Manufacturing Company, the nation's first mass-production textile manufacturer. The boardinghouses were generally placed near the mills and surrounded by other Company-owned structures, such as a church, a school, etc. This "utopian" industrial and residential community was always situated near the canal or the river. The Brick Block was one of the original boardinghouses and constituted the central part of a row of boardinghouses. The Lowell model was often copied in other mill towns in New England. Young female mill workers were the standard occupants of the boardinghouses.
