English High School, Historic school building in downtown Lynn, United States.
The English High School at 498 Essex Street exhibits Jacobethan architecture with a T-shaped three-story section and a four-story section featuring Gothic elements.
Built in 1892 by architect Holman K. Wheeler, the structure served as Lynn's second high school until 1932, when education activities moved to a new location.
The building received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 for its architectural merit and educational significance in Massachusetts.
The former school building underwent conversion into residential units, preserving its exterior characteristics while adapting to modern residential needs.
The structure combines two distinct architectural sections: a Romanesque portion from 1892 and a 1924 addition with Tudor arched entry and decorative parapets.
