Built in 1874, these 4-1/2 story brick buildings were designed by Boston architects, Charles K. Kirby and William F. Goodwin. Three of the four have a traditional Second Empire mansard roof, while the fourth has a brick-faced attic level. They were built with funds from industrialist and financier Abbott Lawrence, who left a $50,000 bequest to provide housing for the poor.
