The Pine Street School is a historic schoolhouse at 13 Pine Street in Northfield, Massachusetts. The school was built in 1904, and represents a well preserved specimen of an early 20th century school building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
The building is a 1.5 story Colonial Revival structure, built to replace a smaller schoolhouse that was overcrowded and in poor condition. On the first floor it has a large vestibule, with hanging hooks for student coats. Doors lead into two equally sized classrooms which still have original electrical fixtures, wooden bead-board wainscoting, and plaster walls. Stairs from the vestibule lead up to a third, larger classroom. The building was used as a schoolhouse from its construction until 1940, when a fire destroyed the town's Center School. The town then consolidated the elementary grades in a newly built Center School building. The Pine Street school building has served as the town museum since 1943.[2]
