The Massachusetts Fields School, Quincy stands on a lot (225' by 250') bounded by Beach Street (south), Rawson Street (east), and Hamilton Street (north) in an area of 20th-century, single-family houses mixed with small stores. The school was bullt in two stages, namely a two-story, brick structure with a hip root (1896), and a two story, flat-roofed brick addition (1923-1924) set asymmetrically at the west end (rear) of the original building. The original building has a T-shaped floor plan through which rise two interior ventilator stacks.
The building rests on a high basement above which are two full stories and a slate-covered hip roof with no dormers. Finishes that are consistent by story include a rock-faced granite basement laid up in random ashlar and a granite water table, rusticated brickwork at the first story, a rock-faced granite course at the head of the first story, and a stepped cornice at the head of the second story. Windows vary in size by location, although most contain 6/6 aluminum sash (installed as part of the 1984 rehabilitation to replace badly deteriorated original sash) set in rectangular surrounds with rock-faced granite sills and brick heads. The facade (east) is symmetrical about a projecting central pavilion with a hip roof; the pavilion is flanked by entry porches.
Fenestration consists of five windows pen story at the pavilion and three small windows per story on flanking sections of the facade. Each entry porch is contained beneath a shec roof that continues the line of the main roof. Porches contain paneled double doors set in a blind arch, decorated with brick diapering. Flanking the entry are narrow windows (1/1) above which are blind oculi. The north elevation is symmetrically arranged, with fenestration consisting of five windows per story. Basement windows contain sash with six lights; first- and second-story windows contain 6/6 sash, with rock-faced granite sills and brick heads (splayed at the first story). The south elevation is a mirror image of the north elevation.
[x] See continuation sheet /L/40 United Stal Department of the Interior Ntional Park Service National Register of Historlc Plac s Continuation Sheet Section number Page_ Massachusetts Fields School Quincy, Massachusetts The west (rear) elevation is pierced by seven windows at both the first and second stories; all contain 6/6 sash except at the basement where six-pane fixed sash exist. An eyebrow dormer is nearly centered above this elevation, the remainder of which is hidden by a 1923 addition. The 1923 addition is rectangular in plan with a projecting entrance block at the west end of its south elevation, and a rear ell at the northwest corner. It rises from a basement that is faced with multi-colored granite ashlar in which are set small windows capped by splayed, granite lintels.
A dressed Above the basement, the addition is faced with pressed red brick and trimmed with cast stone; the roof is flat. Sash 1s aluminum, consisting of 6/6 at the basement, 12/12 at the first story, and 2/2 between the first and second story. Decorative details include a cast-stone cornice, and dressed granite and brick splayed lintels. The facade (south elevation) of the 1923 addition consists of a projecting entrance block (west) containing a blank brick wall with a decorative panel, and double doors set in a pedimented surround. tripartite window framed by brick pilasters rises to the cast-iron cornice and date plaque. East of the entry block is a six-bay elevation. Above the first story, bays are framed by brick pilasters that rise to a concrete cornice and brick parapet.
Basement windows contain 3/3 sash, while 12/12 sash exist at the upper stories; windows at the second story are topped by twelve-light transoms. The west elevation of the addition is divided into two ten-bay sections; the northern section is slightly recessed. Bays are delineated by brick pilasters rising from the water table to the cornice. Windows at the basement contain is an entry containing paneled double doors and a three-pane transom set in a granite surround that is continuous with the water table. Above the entry are two 6/6 windows that light a stairwell. The north elevation of the addition is in two planes; the westernmost of these contains a single basement window (6/6), a pair of 12/12 windows at the first and second stories, and a single 6/6 window between stories in the west bay.
The eastern plane of the addition's north elevation is identical to the south elevation's east plane, except that the bays are not separated by pilasters. The east elevation of the northwest ell of the addition has four widely spaced bays with window treatment matching the rest of the addition.

The slate roof, snow guard, and copper cresting were restored and the eyebrow window and copper-clad penthouse were preserved. The 1923 addition preserves details characteristic of the Colonial Revival style, including brick pilasters, a pedimented main entrance, and cast-stone ornamental details. Doorway and window openings remain unchanged on the exterior of the building. One exception is the pair of windows (2 feet by 2 feet in size) flanking the arched doorway on the east elevation, which were replaced with two-light sash instead of four-light sash, which occupied these windows originally. This is not considered to affect the exterior appearance of the structure in any significant way. After interior renovation, some original wood trim (wainscotting, door and window enframements) remains in the public portions (i.e., halls, entry spaces) of the building.
However, trim has been removed from much of the residential portion of the building. During the course of rehabilitation, the school's historic floor plan was modified, although the original _relationship of central corridor to classroom survives. For the most part, classrooms were converted into single dwelling The former auditorium space, however, was converted into four dwelling units and no longer retains integrity as a public open space. Plaster molding and cornices remain intact in half of this area; the balance was lost from water damage prior to the present rehabilitation. Archaeology While no prehistoric sites are currently recorded on the property, it is possible that sites may be present.
At least two sites are recorded in the general (within one mile), and the area once known as Massachusetts Fields is registered to have been a gathering place by the Massachusetts Indians during the Contact Period. Some potential does exist for locating historic period remains since the parcel is located near an early turnpike and the colonial-period Josiah Quincy house. In general, however, the potential for significant archaeological remains, either prehistoric or historic, seems 10w, as a result of small lot size (less than one acre) and intense development on the lot and in the general area.

The Massachusetts Fields School possesses integrity of location, design, materials, workmanship, setting, and historical association with the civic development of the town of Quincy.
Constructed in 1896, the school represents the commitment of the Quincy School Committee to remain in the vanguard of educational innovation. -A well-preserved example of Queen Anne and Colonial Revival ( style architecture, the Massachusetts Fields School remains nearly unaltered since its enlargement in 1923. The Massachusetts Fields School thus meets criteria A and C for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, with significance at the local level. The town of Quincy has long been noted as a forerunner in educational innovation. The town's celebrated School Committee of 1873, chaired by John Quincy Adams II, was distressed by the condition of "immobility in the schools; no advance in ten years; little change and no improvement in a century.
The average graduate of the grammar school in 1870 had difficulty reading without faltering and could barely write a standard letter in a legible, correctly spelled manner. Members of the School Committee conducted an examination of each school in Quincy (approximately thirty at that time) and were appalled with the results, concluding that the entire system was in need of reform. The decision was made to engage a superintendent of schools who would undertake a complete overhauling of the system. In 1875, Colonel Francis W. Parker became the first Superintendent of Schools in Quincy. In the period from 1875 to 1880, Parker brought about an educational revolution, developing the most noted school system in the state. In 1878, the State Board of Education issued a report praising the accomplishments of Parker and the School Committee: x See continuation sheet 9.

Parker, the teachers had become indoctrinated with his ideas and method, and in consequence, the schools were wonderfully transformed. The primary schools deserve special mention.
made a careful comparison of their methods and the results obtained with those of the best primary schools I know, in town or city, and was surprised at the general superiority of the Quincy work. In 1880, Parker left Quincy to become one of the Supervisors of Schools in he was succeeded by Sylvestor Brown, who directed the educational program in Quincy for three years. Brown was followed by George Aldrich who continued as superintendent for nine years. In 1892, Herbert w. Lull, then principal of Quincy's high school, became Superintendent. Lull carried out Parker's strong tradition. Not only was Lull responsible for the construction of a new high school (now Central Junior High School), but he organized the construction of four other schoolhouses during his tenure (1892-1900): the School. When Colonel Parker began his work School.
When Colonel Parker began his work in Quincy, taere were 1 and Cranch ,544 pupils and 36 teachers in the schools. By the end of Lull's superintendency there were 137 teachers and approximately 5,920 students in the system. The Massachusetts Fields School was constructed in 1896, by Quincy builder Stephen 0. Moxon. It takes its name from what was once a broad, open plain between Mount Wollaston and the Neponset River that was known as the Massachusetts Fields; it is believed to have been the gathering place of the Massachusetts tribe of Indians. By 1922, overcrowding in the schools had led to the construction of "portable school buildings" on the grounds of nine Quincy schools, including the Massachusetts Fields School. To accommodate increased enrollment in the schools. a major building program was developed with the enlargement of the Massachusetts Fields School as the first step.
A nine-room addition to the school was completed in 1924; the School Committee explained in its annual report that "the addition to the Massachusetts Fields School has been so planned that, when the old building can no longer be used, it may be replaced by a similar addition, together making a completed whole. According to the Historical and Architectural Overview of Quincy (July 1986, Fannin/Lehrer), four of Quincy's public schools were designed by Albert Hayden Wright between 1896 and 1913. Little is known of Albert Wright except that he practiced architecture in association with William H. McLean Continued United Stai Department of the Interior Ntional Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number _8 Page - 10/2/40 Massachusetts Fields School Quincy, Massachusetts from 1902 until 1911.
McLean and Wright are known for a number of institutional buildings including the High School in Provincetown, Bellows Free Academy in St. Albans, Vermont, and the Memorial Library in Rockland Massachusetts. The four Quincy Schools designed by Wright include the Gridley Bryant School (1896), the Massachusetts Flelds School (1896), the Cranch School (1900), and the Adams School (1931). All but the Adams School were built in the Renaissance Revival style; the Adams School follows Colonial Revival patterns. The Gridley Bryant School and the Massachusetts Fields School are virtually identical in plan and detailing, both constructed of red brick and possessing similar entry bays and rooflines. The Cranch School is nearly identical in plan to the Gridley Bryant School: it is symmetrical a projecting central-entry pavilion. Because it is believed that Stephen 0.
Moxon, a Quincy builder with an office at 48 Congress Street, drew up the plans for the Massachusetts Fields School, it is entirely possible that he worked closely with the architects on this, and other commissions. Between 1870 and 1915, fourteen schools were constructed in Quincy. Most were the fruition of the nationally known and practiced "Quincy Public System" developed by Francis D. Parker, superintendent from 1875-1880. With the exception of the four schools designed by A. H. Wright, other schools are as varied in design and style as their architects, which include E. G. Thayer, Sturgis & Cabot, and Charles Brigham. On June 15, 1982, the Massachusetts Fields School closed its doors to the elementary school students who had occupied it since its construction almost a century earlier. The city of Quincy took control of the vacant building in September 1982.
It has now been rehabilitated for use as apartments. All significant architectural elements were retained on the building's exterior. The Massachusetts Fields School retains characteristic elements of its Queen Anne-style design in the original building, including its corbelled cornices, blind arches with decorative brick diapering, eyebrow dormer, and slate roof with copper cresting. The building also retains elements of its characteristic nineteenth-century plan with separate entrances for boys and girls. The 1923 addition features details characteristic of the later Colonial Revival style that became so popular for twentieth-century school design, including brick pilasters, pedimented entrance, and cast-stone ornamental details.
While significant interior changes have occurred in conversion from school to residential use, renovation of the building on the whole has not affected its overall integrity nor compromised the structure's historic significance.
