    Overview

    Built in 1921, this historic brick former bank building features solid construction and includes the original bank vault. The layout is designed to support up to three separate business spaces, making it practical for owner-occupants or arrangements that require individual operations. A connecting doorway to 100 Main Street provides flexibility to operate unified or independently. Additional upstairs space is also available (1755 sqft), which can serve office, creative studio, co-working, or other uses, with any potential future residential use requiring buyer verification.

    Located on a corner lot in historic downtown Lowell, the property offers strong street visibility. The walkable setting places it steps from parks, city hall, and local shops, with downtown development mentioned as ongoing in the area.

    The building’s configuration supports tenants or businesses that want dedicated suites within a single, character-rich structure, while still having the option to tie spaces together through the connecting doorway. The presence of the original vault and the second-floor area can also help accommodate a range of office and creative uses, subject to buyer and tenant due diligence for final fit and approvals.
