George G. Adams (1850–1932) was an American architect from Lawrence, Massachusetts.
Adams was born in Rochester, New Hampshire in 1850, later moving to Lawrence.[1] In 1879 he established himself as an architect.[2] He worked alone until 1889, when he briefly associated with William P. Regan as Adams & Regan. The only known design by the firm is the Marston Building in Lowell of 1889. Adams practiced until the late teens, when he retired. A mason, he resumed his practice in late 1921 to design the new Masonic Temple. Upon resuming his practice, he partnered with David M. Brown, a recent MIT graduate.[3] They were together until about 1924, and Adams retired permanently in 1926.[2]
Adams was noted in northern New England as an architect of public buildings. In addition to those he designed in Lawrence, Adams designed a number of courthouses, town and city halls, libraries, and other buildings.
In 1875, Adams married Mary Maria Leslie of Lynnfield.[4] He died in 1932.
