Statements this record supports

  • C-154 — Lowell's streets were renumbered during 1893, the change that made No. 170 Fairmount Street into No. 236. In his inaugural address of January 1, 1894, Mayor John J. Pickman told the City Council that 'the buildings in the streets of the city have been renumbered during the past year', under a plan that allowed 'a certain number of feet' to each lot; the Superintendent of Streets reported that the old numbering had left 'many duplicate numbers on the same street.'
  • C-247 — Merrill & Cutler designed the Palmer Street engine house (the central fire station), occupied on December 1, 1889, the Superintendent of Public Buildings crediting 'the designs of the architects, Messrs. Merrill & Cutler'. The city also paid the firm for new buildings at the City Farm (1882), an addition to the Varnum school-house (1886), additions to the River Street and Dover Street school-houses and the new Favor Street school-house (1888), and an addition to the Insane Hospital (1893).
