Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1664
Postcard. Caption on front: Henry L. Pierce School, Dorchester. Postally unused. Circa 1910.
The Henry L. Pierce School replaced the Welles Mansion at the corner of Washington Street and Welles Avenue in 1892. It was itself replaced after a fire in the 1970s by the Codman Square branch of the Boston Public Library.
Like the Fifield School and the Dochester High School for Boys, the Henry L. Pierce School was designed by Harrison Atwood.
