This is not just a building — it’s a piece of Lowell’s history waiting for its next chapter. Built in 1921, this former bank sits proudly on the corner of E First Street in the heart of Historic Downtown Lowell. Solid brick, full of character, and still home to the original bank vault, it offers the kind of charm and authenticity you simply can’t recreate. Positioned on a corner lot with strong street visibility, this property gives you presence. Whether you’re dreaming of a café, office space, studio, salon, or multi-tenant investment, the layout allows for up to three separate business spaces. There’s also a connecting doorway to 100 Main Street, giving you the flexibility to keep everything unified or operate independently. Upstairs, you’ll find additional square footage (1755sqft) perfect for offices, creative studios, co-working space, or potential future residential use (buyer to verify). The walkable location puts you steps from parks, city hall, local shops, and ongoing downtown development — exactly where foot traffic and community activity are growing. Lowell is a town on the rise, known for its mill-town roots, close-knit community, and revitalized downtown energy. With quick access to I-85 and less than 20 minutes to Charlotte, this location blends small-town character with big-city convenience. Whether you envision a modern café built around the original vault, retail space with historic charm, or a multi-use investment property, 101 E First Street is a rare opportunity to own something truly special in one of Gaston County’s most charming downtowns.
