Arthur W. Dalrymple School
Formerly Highland School
(Converted)

"The Highland School (renamed to Arthur W. Dalrymple School in 1973) was built to replace the old Almont Street School which was the public grammar school for the Highlands between 1888-1920. The old school was located on Almont St. near Cross St. It was constructed of wood and burned down on January 17,1920. The movement to build a new school at Grovers and Crest was spearheaded by a neighborhood group called the Winthrop Highlands Association. The new school was built on the site of the old Leighton House, a summer resort popular with Bostonians."

"The Highland School is a good example of a 1920s municipal school building that combines a Classical Revival style with Patterned Brick architectural details, which were common during this era."

"...The dedication of this yearbook may seem a small honor to a man accustomed to accolades such as those listed above. Yet it is fitting that the first yearbook to be published from the new Winthrop Senior High School be dedicated to a man whose nearly thirty years of professional public ser- vice have supported a climate of excellence in which mag- nificent buildings, programs and students are able to grow."
