GDG PROPERTIES

The Executive Building exemplifies the practice in early twentieth century Lowell of linking two or more buildings to form a complex which accommodates the need for larger office and retail space. This "building" is actually three separate structures: It is made up of the copper-clad Lincoln Building of 1923; the adjacent narrow brick Vestry building of circa 1860; and the "H" (for Hosford) Building of 1882. The former two both face Merrimack Street, and the latteron Middle Street is connected to them at the rear by a wide, three-story bridge across the alley. The three buildings were probably joined together around 1930, when the owner of the Lincoln Building, the Lincoln Stores, expanded its real estate holding beyond its original building... The Executive Building is a set of three buildings joined internally in a way so as to function as one structure. In addition to the 100 Merrimack Street address, the retail tenants use the addresses of 88 - 92 Merrimack St as well as 43-45..
