The marker text reads as follows:

This corner was the hub of Lowell activity from 1835 when the B&L Railroad opened, through the 19th century. The passenger depot stood here; in 1835 it was replaced by an Italianate style building which combined city offices, public meeting halls and railway station under one roof.

Upstairs, Huntington Hall was a great cultural asset where the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Russian dance troops and Shakespearean plays were performed.
