The Lawrence Model Lodging Houses are historic apartment houses located at 79, 89, 99 and 109 East Canton Street in the South End of Boston, Massachusetts. Built in 1874, these {{frac|4|1|2}}-story brick buildings were designed by Boston architects, Charles K. Kirby and William F. Goodwin. Three of the four have a traditional Second Empire mansard roof, while the fourth has a brick-faced attic level. They were built with funds from industrialist and financier Abbott Lawrence, who left a $50,000 bequest to provide housing for the poor.{{cite web|url=https://mhc-macris.net/details?mhcid=bos.1467|title=MACRIS inventory record for Lawrence Model Lodging Houses|publisher=Commonwealth of Massachusetts|access-date=2014-06-18}}
