"The Quincy School, opened in 1847, was a model public school conceived by renowned educator Horace Mann. The innovative building was designed by architect Gridley J. F. Bryant. Each teacher had their own classroom and students were separated by grade, very progressive ideas at the time. In the late 19th century, the Quincy School also offered evening classes for the immigrants of South Cove. In 1976, the old public school closed and the building became the home of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association of New England. Today it is a thriving community center, home to many Chinatown organizations."
