Quincy School

Quincy School is a historic school at 94 Newbury Avenue in Quincy, Massachusetts.

It was built in 1906 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. A longtime elementary school, it closed in 1981 following city cutbacks in the wake of Proposition 2 1/2, and was subsequently sold to private developers for conversion to condominiums.

Famous quotes containing the word school:

    School divides life into two segments, which are increasingly of comparable length. As much as anything else, schooling implies custodial care for persons who are declared undesirable elsewhere by the simple fact that a school has been built to serve them.
    Ivan Illich (b. 1926)
