Lowell Map, 1881, Library of Congress, https://lccn.loc.gov/2011592157

Many of Lowell’s Irish families lived in the neighborhood that came to be known as Back Central, south of downtown and west of the Concord River. By 1881, Camp Chase was long gone. The area was once again the Agricultural Fair Grounds, across from the Catholic Cemetery. The cemetery has expanded and the Benjamin F. Butler Middle School replaced the fairgrounds. The McNabb family lived on Crosby Street, which ended at the Lowell Bleachery where Tommy was employed. St. Peter’s Church, were Tommy and Mary married, was replaced by the Court House and rebuilt one street north. Rail lines crossed the area, bringing raw materials in and finished products out of the industrial city. The bleachery buildings are gone but in the mid 1900s house the Prince Spaghetti Company. A faded sign on a railroad bridge crossing Gorham Street still welcomes folks to Spaghettiville.
