Our guide on the Freedom Trail walk pointed out this site to us otherwise we could have missed it as we would have been looking for a red-brick school building. On a wall above the sidewalk memorial to Boston's first public school was a framed poster providing more information about the school - its founding date, the naming of School Street, and that by 1745 Indian students were accepted and didn't have to pay. Also shown were the names of famous alumni like Sam Adams, John Hancock, Ben Franklin, and RW Emerson. Member of the Massachusetts State Bar Graphic. The students were taught reading, writing, mathematics and Latin judging by the Latin inscriptions on the image and the word in its name. Boston Latin SchoolHarvard Business School Executive Education. The script in the hop-scotch gave the dimensions of the school, built in 1635, as 40 feet long x 20 feet wide and that it had 2 levels of windows - 8 on the ground floor and 4 in the roof. At the top of the 'hop-scotch' was an image of the school that once stood at this location. Open 7 nights a week with a line down the street to fill one of the longest running. Originally opening as Jukebox back in 1982, the basement was home to the hottest nightclub in Boston at that time. Surrounded by a red brick frame, this marker reminded me of a child's hop-scotch, except that it had images of children playing on a school ground in the squares as well as the usual numbers and alphabet letters around the whole image. Legacy Boston is located at 275 Tremont Street which has been home to some of the most legendary venues in Boston nightlife in the last 20 years.
The marker for Boston's first school is on the sidewalk adjacent to the Old City Hall.
