The School Street School is a historic school building at 40 School Street in Haverhill, Massachusetts, United States. The brick three-story building was designed by Joseph R. Richards and built in 1856. Stylistically it is a mixture of a number of popular revival styles of the mid-19th century. The building is located on a hill, and appears from some elevations to only have two stories. Its main entrances are located inside round brownstone arches, a typical Romanesque Revival feature. Its roof line features a deep, bracketed cornice, a typical Italianate feature. The bays of the north and south elevations are separated by decorated brick pilasters, a Greek Revival element. The building has a shallow hip roof which was originally topped by a cupola (removed during the early 20th century).[2]
