The Gleason Building is a historic commercial building at 349-351 Essex Street in Lawrence, Massachusetts. It is a Richardsonian Romanesque building, six stories tall, faced in brick and brownstone. It was built by William Oswald to a design by Arthur Gray, and boasted the city's first hydraulic elevator. The second to fourth floors of the facade are divided in two sections by brick piers that rise to round brownstone arches, with bands of sash windows on the lower two levels. The top floor is also architecturally distinctive, with four pairs of windows, each topped by a round brownstone arch.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
