Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1761
Yesterday we saw the Lucy Stone School, one of two school buildings that the Roxbury Prep Charter School will begin to use. Today we have the other one: the Quincy E. Dickerman School.
The Quincy E. Dickerman School was closed by the city’s school department in 2009. It was built in 1915 to a design by architect J. A. Schweinfurth.
Quincy Dickerman was a teacher in the Bosotn Public Schools for 50 years. He served as Master of the Brimmer School.
