Merrimack Sts. would be off to the left. The Centralville (Bridge Street) bridge is seen in the distance, and some

Gelatin silver print, [before 1898]. Image depicts the Northern Canal (on the left) running parallel to the Merrimack River
(on the right) in Lowell, Mass. An ironwork bridge (what is now the School Street Bridge) is barely visible
in the left background. Viewpoint is looking north; the Pawtucket Falls would be beyond the bridge on the left. Handwriting
on reverse of photo indicates Pawtucket Canal, which is incorrect. Houses on the right would be in
Pawtucketville, clustered around the Mammoth Road area. The bell tower in the center background is probably the Pawtucket
Congregational Church; this building was replaced with a red brick Romanesque building in 1898. 24.25 x 17.25
cm.
