This was the second school named for Edward Everett, governor of Massachusetts from 1836 to 1840. Located on Sumner Street, it was dedicated on Oct. 26, 1877 per "Annual Report of the School Committee of the City of Boston", 1878, p. 393-394. A print of the school is included in the Report as a frontispiece. The Report describes the style as Queen Anne and lists Ivory Bean as the builder and James F. Marston as the carpenter.
