A version of this photograph was in Rev. George Kenngott's 1912 book The Record of a City: A Social Survey of Lowell Massachusetts. It was captioned "Greek Coffee House, Market Street." No other identifying information is given in the book. A closer look tells us that there were other businesses in the building as well. And like many buildings of this type at the time, there were also apartments or rooms for residential use.
