JACKSON SCHOOL HOUSE.


This building has been raised one story within the year, at a cost of about $2,500. The first story is brick, and contains a room for fuel, and rooms for the ianitor and entries for the pupils.


HARVARD PRIMARY SCHOOL HOUSE.


This building, valued at $1,000, and insured for $800, was burnt March 15th. Origin of the fire un-


91


known. It was constructed in 1843, on Broadway, near Mount Benedict, as a Grammar School House, for the accommodation of East Somerville and Win- ter Hill. It was moved to Beacon street in 1848, and enlarged in 1861.


BELL PRIMARY SCHOOL HOUSE.


This building was constructed in 1851, on Cherry street, and was named in honor of Dr. Luther V. Bell, who was a member of the school board from 1843 to 1847.


In 1867, it was moved to the rear of Franklin School House, and occupied by the Franklin Primary school until the completion of Morse School House. In April last, it was removed to Beacon street, and is now called the Harvard Primary School House.


In consequence of these changes, the committee adopted the following: -


" Whereas The School-house known as the Bell Primary School House, has been removed to a new locality, and the name thereof changed ; and whereas it is the desire of this school board to perpetuate the memoryof Dr. Luther V. Bell, a citizen so eminent in his profession, and so strong in his at- tachment to the interest of the schools ; therefore,


Resolved, That this board recommend that the name of " Bell " be given to the next large school building erected in Somerville.


EDGERLY SCHOOL HOUSE.


At a meeting of the town, held on the 27th day of April last, $25,000 were appropriated to pur-


*


92


chase land in Prescott district, and to construct thereon a brick school-house containing four school- rooms.


At their meeting, May 1, the school committec made choice of the following named gentlemen for building committee : -


Horace P. Hemenway, Saml. A. Carlton,


Henry F. Spencer, Joshua H. Davis.


As a token of respect for John S. Edgerly, Esq., ! the committee decided to name the building the Edgerly school-house.


A lot of land containing 26,428 feet, and situated on Cross street, between Bonaire and Otis streets, was purchased for 25 cents per foot.


A contract was made with Daniel L. Lord, Esq .; of Chelsea, to construct and complete the building above the foundation, ready to receive the school furniture, for $14,693.00 the committee furnishing the ventilators, registers, and snow-guards. Mr. Lord fulfilled his contract to the entire satisfaction of the committee.


The plans and specifications for this beautiful and substantial building were furnished by S. S. Wood- cock, Esq., of this town.
