This color drawing of a stone, twenty-room schoolhouse was submitted to an architectural competition held in Boston, MA in the late 19th century. The design envisions a top story with central Romanesque arches and trefoil windows. There is also an inset of the first floor plan.
The architect’s name is G. Wood Taylor (1868-1921), a prominent architect who was based in Springfield, MA. He designed a number of private residences in the upscale Forest Park neighborhood of Springfield, some of which were in the Colonial Revival style. This schoolhouse plan appeared in the American Architect and Building News of April 9, 1898.
