In April 2024 we began distributing 100 posters to local businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies that now occupy buildings or have addresses on streets that Annie photographed one-hundred years ago. Explore this map to see where they are currently located. Stop by and say hello to the local businesses!
Our goal is to show how Lowell neighborhoods appeared in Annie’s time in relation to Lowell today. As you click through the posters below, what streets and buildings look different? What looks the same? How is the Lowell of one-hundred years ago a place of commerce, industry, education and living? How does Annie’s work frame your view of Lowell in the 21st century?
As posters are placed in and around Lowell, we’ll place image thumbnails and links below. To keep up with the project, follow us on Instagram @byanniepowell and on Facebook.
