Wakefield Memorial High School, Main Street, circa 1955
Description:
"Planning for a new high school began in earnest in the late 1940s and early 1950s, with several sites and plans considered by the building committee, including the former Town Farm site on Farm Street, filling in a section of Hartshorne's cove on Lake Quannapowitt and building the school on Veterans' Field and Halls Park, and building an addition on land to the south of the existing high school on Main Street. The latter plan was approved by Town Meeting." Image from the Wakefield Municipal Gas and Light Department annual calendar, 2016 Photo courtesy of the Wakefield Historical Society.
