Title

Acton Street School 1877-1892
Maynard, Mass.

Description

The school was built in 1877 at the corner of Acton and Pleasant Streets at a cost of $3579.41. It was "heated by a furnace, which is a great improvement over the old system of stoves and wood fires, with long funnels constantly getting out of repair". The high school was transferred to this building in 1877 from the old Nason Street school where it remained until 1892. Abandoned in 1892 as of no further use and in 1894 it was sold at public auction with the old Garfield school for $2150 and made into a tenement block.
