Built in 1841, the Sirk Building housed young women who worked at the Lowell mills during the Industrial Revolution.

Located in downtown Lowell, the units in this building are best suited to adults. The Sirk Building is on the National Register of Historical Places. The Caleb Group provides resident service coordination to assist in linking residents to the services they need within the community.

Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
