The H. M. Warren School is a historic school building at 30 Converse Street in Wakefield, Massachusetts. The two story brick and limestone building was designed by Charles E. Park, and built c. 1895-97. It was named for Major Horace M. Warren, a Wakefield native killed in the American Civil War. The Renaissance Revival structure consists of a central section, which is flanked by matching side sections which project. The side sections are five bays wide, and have hipped roofs whose spine runs perpendicular to that of the central section. The central section, where the main entrance is located, has a projecting triple-arched single story portico sheltering stairs to the entry doors. The portico is topped by a low parapet, above which are the second story round-arch windows.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1] It now houses social service agencies.
