Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1767
Last year we saw the Elbridge Smith School from a distance, but today we have a newly acquired close-up. This school building was in place at the corner of Dorchester Avenue and Centre Street by 1874. The Henderson School (formerly O’Hearn School) is located at this site now. The building was built as the second high school and served that role until the yellow brick Dorchester High building was erected in Codman Square in 1900.
