The Grafton Street School is a pair of historic school buildings at 293 and 303 Grafton Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. The first, a 2 1/2 story brick building at 303 Grafton, was constructed in two phases, beginning in 1879. The southern half of the building was built first, to a design by local architect Elbridge Boyden, and was enlarged to the north in 1897 to designs by Boyden and his sons. A separate building was added to the site in 1899, to plans by J. William Patson. The older building has Queen Anne styling, a relative rarity in the city for a school building, and the later building has more Colonial Revival features.[2]
The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
