Photos: Grand Opening Celebration for the new Hosmer Elementary School in Watertown, MA

Recently, construction of the new 144,250 gross square foot Hosmer Elementary School building located at 1 Concord Rd, Watertown, Massachusetts was complete. A grand opening ceremony was held today. Check out photos below.

“The Hosmer School is built on land once owned by the Hosmer family in the east end of town. Alfred Hosmer (1832 – 1891) was a physician, historian, and founder of the Watertown Historical Society. Dr. Hosmer was also the chairman of a fundraising campaign that helped to build the first Watertown Public Library. As schools became overcrowded a school was built and named in honor of Dr. Alfred Hosmer and his uncle Dr. Hiram Hosmer. Ms. Harriet Hosmer, daughter of Hiram and cousin of Alfred gave a speech at the opening ceremony for the school.”
