The Mechanics Block Historic District is a historic district at 107–139 Garden St. and 6–38 Orchard Street in Lawrence, Massachusetts. It encompasses two segments of brick rowhouses that are back-to-back. The rowhouses are 2+1⁄2-story brick buildings, organized into mirror-image pairs, with a single gable-roof dormer piercing the side-gable roofs for each unit. They were built in 1847 by the Essex Company (the development arm of the Lawrence mill operators) as worker housing. [2]
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and expanded in 1978. [1]
