Info
The Peter Faneuil School is an historic school building at 60 Joy Street on Beacon Hill in Boston, Massachusetts. It is a four-story brick Tudor Revival building with limestone trim, built in 1910 to designs by the Boston firm of Kelly and Graves. It is named for Peter Faneuil, the benefactor who gave Faneuil Hall to the city. Its construction represented an early form of urban renewal, as the area it occupies was cleared of wooden tenement housing. During most of the twentieth century the Peter Faneuil School served as an elementary school for Beacon Hill and West End residents. It was the last school which serviced the Old West End neighborhood to close.
