The Riverside Concrete Company-Lamont's Market is a historic building located at 2 Charles Street in Newton, Massachusetts. Built in 1910, it stands as a rare example of concrete block construction. The Riverside Concrete Company manufactured the concrete blocks used in the building's construction.
The market served the local neighborhood and visitors to the nearby Norumbega amusement park. In 1928, a second-floor apartment was added to the structure, expanding its use beyond the original market space.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Today, it continues to stand as a piece of local history, presently housing private residences.
