George Kendall Warren (1824-1884) operated a daguerreotype studio at 128 Merrimack St. from around 1851 until around 1858, when he moved to 100 Merrimack St. His focus shifted to albums, as he worked as the photographer for Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. He opened a studio in Cambridge in 1863, and sold his Lowell studio to J.M. Washburn a year later.
