Spalding House

The Spalding House (circa 1760) is known for its rich colonial history (pre-industrial), located at the epicenter of Lowell's rich cultural and environmental past. Among other interesting historical facts, the house is valued for its environmental history with its proximity to Pawktucket Falls, which allowed it to be used lodging by people traveling down the Merrimack River. From approximately 1760-1790, bargemen would stay at the house then known as the Moses Davis Inn, while making their portage around the nearby falls.
