Built as Grace Universalist- Unitarian Church in 1895. The building was sold to become the St. George Greek Orthodox church in the 1970's. Rafael Guastavino, Jr. designed and constructed the impressive seventy-foot diameter masonry dome using the Tile Arch System, a structural tiling system which was patented by his father Rafael Guastavino Sr. in 1885. The dome of Grace Universalist Church is the largest existing masonry dome in Massachusetts, and one of the earliest designed by the R. Guastavino Fireproof Company. Rafael Guastavino, Jr. went on to install masonry vaulting and domes in many Beaux-Art architectural works, such as the dome over the crossing of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York (1911) and the ceiling of the Registry Hall at Ellis Island (1917). Lowell boasts several buildings with work by Guastavino Company, including the entrance portico of Southwick Hall (1897) located on the South Campus of the University of Massachusetts-Lowell.
