Lowell Post Office, Federal post office in Lowell, Massachusetts, US.
The five-story stone building on Appleton Street features a square clock tower topped with a pyramidal roof and triple round arches on each face.
Constructed in 1895 under architect W. J. Edbrooke, the building operated as a post office until 1936 when operations moved to the new facility at Kearney Square.
The structure represents the Richardsonian Romanesque style, prevalent in late 19th century federal buildings, with characteristic rounded arches and rough-faced stonework.
The former post office now functions as a division of the Middlesex County juvenile court system within the Lowell National Historical Park boundaries.
This building stands as one of three Richardsonian Romanesque structures built in Lowell during 1893, alongside City Hall and Pollard Memorial Library.
