Jefferson School (Massachusetts)

The Jefferson School is a historic school at 200 Middle Street in Weymouth, Massachusetts. The Queen Anne style school was designed by Shepard S. Woodcock and was built in 1889. The four-room schoolhouse is a variant of the Washington School, built in 1887. In contrast to the latter school, this one has more symmetrical massing, but is decorated with scalloped shingles and a porch with elaborate woodwork. It is topped by an octagonal clock tower with cupola.[2]
