[MassHistPres] Ninth Annual Doors Open Lowell (May 13-15)

[Stowell, Stephen]

The ninth annual Doors Open Lowell, presented as part of Lowell's
National Preservation Month activities, will take place May 13-15, 2010.
The event offers an insider's look into the preservation of 25 of
Lowell's fabulous historic buildings, many not normally open to the
public.  It's a celebration of urban living and culture where people and
preservation have made Lowell a creative and exciting place to live,
work, and visit.  In 2002, Lowell was the first city in the United
States to launch this prestigious event dedicated to built heritage,
architecture, and design.

 

Look for old favorites this year as well as exciting new additions to
the roster of participating buildings.  Don't miss Doors Open XTRAs
where you can enhance your Doors Open experience through interaction
with design professionals and other special activities.  Buildings will
be open Friday May 14 (6-9 pm) and Saturday May 15 (11am - 6pm).

 

The event kicks off the evening of Thursday May 13 where you can join
the Lowell National Historical Park and the Lowell Heritage Partnership
in recognizing recipients of cultural heritage and historic preservation
awards as well as the opening of the new exhibit "Preservation Then &
Now" that chronicles two centuries of preservation history in New
England and Lowell that is presented in partnership with Historic New
England.  RSVPs for the reception should be made to (978) 275-1700 or
