Parking Information

All parking for the Lydia Pinkham Building is on street. Please park on Western Avenue or on any of the surrounding side streets. Be mindful of the signs on all side streets. For most, one side of the street is RESIDENT ONLY parking, and the other side is available to the public. Resident only parking is enforced, so it is not worth the risk.

Please do not park anywhere in the small lot on Cleveland Street beside the building (including near the loading dock). All of the parking spaces in that lot/area are rented by individual businesses, and you will be towed if you park in a rented space.

Accessibility

The Lydia Pinkham Building is not handicap accessible and difficult for even strollers to manage. There are steps into the building no matter what door you use. There is a small passenger elevator available, but as this is a very old building, it is not 100% reliable. There is a large freight elevator, but you need to be able to manually slide the heavy gates open and close.
