George G. Adams

The former Lawrence Public Library, designed by Adams and completed in 1892.

George G. Adams (August 26, 1850 – November 28, 1932) was an American architect from Lawrence, Massachusetts.

Life and career George Gilman Adams was born August 26, 1850, in Rollinsford, New Hampshire, to Benjamin Gilman Adams, a mill superintendent, and Sophia (Nutter) Adams. Once the building was completed, Brown returned to Boston and Adams resumed practice full-time, retiring only shortly before his death. In 1888 they moved into a large house, designed by Adams, at 1 Berkeley Street in Lawrence. Continued business success allowed the couple to move into a new Adams–designed house at 351 Prospect Street in 1907. Adams died November 28, 1932, at home.
