ABOUT OUR LOCATION:
"The building at 280 Central Street is steeped in history.
Built in 1824, it was originally the Farragut Hotel. Abraham Lincoln, who visited Lowell on Sept. 16, 1848, most likely slept there even though it has never been proven. Only train records hint of an overnight stay. He gave a speech in Lowell at 7 p.m. The last train to Boston was at 6:30 p.m.
Either way, Ward Eight owner Paul Yates loves the lore.
'If these walls could talk,' he laughs. 'This is one of the oldest buildings still standing in downtown. We wanted to preserve its past and combine it with today's cutting-edge technology.' " (from Howl in Lowell)

ABOUT THE WARD EIGHT COCKTAIL:
"The Ward 8 or Ward Eight is a cocktail originating in 1898 in Boston, Massachusetts at the bar of the Gilded Age restaurant Locke-Ober.
In 1898 Democratic political czar Martin M. Lomasney hoped to capture a seat in the state's legislature, the General Court of Massachusetts. Lomasney held considerable power in the city for nearly 50 years. The story goes that the drink was created to honor his election, and the city's Ward 8 which historically delivered him a winning margin. Competing, but unfounded myths abound in print and on the Internet. One story purports that it originated in New York in an area known for political corruption, another that the cocktail is a traditional drink of the Scottish Guards." (from Wikipedia)
