The Marcia Browne Junior High School, also known as the Broadway School, is a historic school building at 295 Broadway in Malden, Massachusetts. The brick Colonial Revival two story building was constructed in 1905 to a design by Boston architect Edward I. Wilson, and expanded in 1925. The original portion of the building consists of a central rectangular block, which is flanked by matching wings which project slightly from the main (western) facade. The 1925 additions consist of a rear classroom ell and an auditorium/gymnasium addition connected to the north end of the main building by a hyphen. Originally known as the Broadway School, it was renamed in 1913 in honor of a well-liked principal. It served as a junior high school until the early 1990s, when it was closed. [2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. [1] It is now home to an elderly assisted living facility. [2]
