Peter Faneuil School, Historic school building at Joy Street in Beacon Hill, Boston, United States.

The Peter Faneuil School features limestone trim and Tudor Revival architecture across its four-story structure designed by architect James T. Kelley in 1910.

The school replaced wooden tenements and served the Old West End neighborhood until transforming into The LAB School in 1975 for voluntary desegregation programs.

Students at The LAB School participated in specialized programs including Dramatic Arts and Environmental Studies while publishing creative works in LAByrinths magazine.

The building now contains twenty residential units dedicated to providing affordable housing for individuals affected by HIV/AIDS since its conversion in 1994.

The structure earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places while maintaining connections to Peter Faneuil, who donated the famous Faneuil Hall.
