W.A. Mack Building

Built in 1886 for Sewall G. Mack, a foundry owner and former mayor of Lowell, this store served as the headquarters of an extensive ironworks business. The Mack firm sold stoves, ranges, and furnaces, and manufactured galvanized iron architectural ornaments, iron fences, store fronts, and iron roofs. A rail spur next to the building was used to freight these heavy items in and out of Lowell. The cast iron ground floor store front may have been made at the Mack foundry.
