The Lowell Post Office, completed in 1895 at 89 Appleton Street in Lowell, Massachusetts, is a commanding two-story granite structure designed by W. J. Edbrooke in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. Its H-shaped plan features characteristic rounded arches over windows and a recessed entry, while its most distinctive element—a five-story square clock tower—rises prominently above the composition, crowned by a pyramidal roof supported by tripled round arches on each face. Originally serving as a federal post office until 1936, the building subsequently housed other federal offices and later municipal functions before being listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. It now accommodates a division of the Middlesex County juvenile court system.
