PROJECT AT A GLANCE
A historic building with a new purpose.Originally built as Lowell's First Congregational Church, the Smith Baker Center has served generations of Lowellians as a place of gathering, civic life, and community.
Today, we're working to preserve what makes this building extraordinary while adapting it for an entirely new era of use.
The result will be a multidisciplinary arts and cultural center designed to bring people together; whether they're coming for a concert, taking a class, sharing a meal, attending an event, or simply spending time in the heart of their community.
