Inside Lowell’S 150 Year Old Cigar Merchant Mansion

Built around 1872, the estate stands as a textbook High Victorian Second Empire landmark, defined by a three-story corner tower, steep mansard roof, and intricate interior woodwork. After a 2011 preservation that safeguarded its rare hand-painted stairwell motifs and original layout, 139 Methuen Street remains an unbroken monument to Lowell’s 19th-century history. #history #architecture #urbaneye
