The Claflin School is a historic former school building at 110–112 Washington Park, Newtonville, Massachusetts. It is a <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />2+1⁄2-story brick building, with a tall hip roof, projecting side-gabled wings, and a tall central gable section. The main facade is symmetrically arranged, with brick quoining around windows and corners, and entrances set in round-arch openings. Named for William Claflin, it was built in 1891, and is a well-preserved example of Richardsonian Romanesque design. Its architect was Merrill J. Brown.[1]
The building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on September 16, 1984,[2] and included in the Newtonville Historic District in 1986.[1]
A new elementary school was named for William Claflin in 1953 but closed in the 1980s. The Lowell Avenue building became artist studios and a small park.[3]
