They are surmounted by another sandstone belt course and four arched sandstone trimmed windows, one with 1/4/1 sash, and three with 15/8/2 sash.

A carved stone panel reading "Hancock School 1891" is centrally situated on the round tower between the first and second stories. Three windows with 9/9, 15/15, 9/9 sash respectively are decoratively framed in a Palladian pattern in brick and sandstone on the second story. A similar, but less elaborate tri-partite window arrangement is used on the second story of the square tower.

Sandstone belt courses extend around the building's rear and side elevations at levels beneath the larger first and second story windows. Five steeply pitched hipped dormers containing paired windows project from the rear elevation and the roof's side elevations each contain another steeply pitched hipped dormer also containing paired windows. The basement of the building stands some five feet above grade with basement windows topped by segmental arches of brick headers.

The basement is entered down a series of steps on the west elevation and was planned for "heating apparatus, the sanitary apartments, separate play-rooms for boys and girls and a... room or shop which can be used for a beginning in manual training." The first and second stories contain several classrooms which all have southerly exposure for sunlight during instruction periods. The classrooms open onto a long corridor on the northerly side of the building in which there are coatrooms and an area for teachers to supervise the coming and going of pupils. On the third floor is a hall large enough to seat the entire school, and under each gable are two rooms which originally were intended for sewing and cooking. The building's interior finish is relatively plain.

Statement of significance

/ARCHITECT Hartwell and Richardson Hancock School has been serving children in Lexington's primary and secondary grades longer than any extant educational building in the town. Architecturally, it is among Lexington's best examples of Romanesque Revival public buildings. The school was designed in 1890 by Henry Walder Hartwell (1813-1919) and William Cummings Richardson (1854-1935), prolific suburban architects in the Boston area whose popularity peaked in the 1880's and 1890's. Examples of their numerous works include: Boston's First Spiritual Temple (Exeter Street Theater, extant) Belmont Town Hall (extant), Boston's Normal Art School (demolished), and Acton Memorial Library (extant). All of these buildings, like Hancock School, were built during the period of Henry Hobson Richardson's greatest influence.

Hancock School, however, is among the firm's more eclectic interpretations of Romanesque Revival architecture as evidenced by the unusual ornamental masonry and the imagina- tive design of the facade. In addition it is one of the best preserved examples of the firm's school architecture in any greater Boston community.

Hancock School's original building committee stated: "Our aim has been, first of all, for utility, healthfulness, and convenience; at the same time we have not been unmindful that correct proportions and architectural taste not only have an educating influence upon boys and girls, but tend to elevate the tone of the whole community." The enduringly fine quality of the school's design and construction has lived up to the building committee's initial expectations, and continues to foster great admiration and devotion to the school by alumni and families whose children find fascination in its special ambience which is in all probability unique and irreplaceable.
