Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1691
Built in 1901, the Roger Wolcott School was located at Norfolk & Morton Streets. It seems to have been named for the 39th Governor of the Commonwealth who served as Acting Governor in 1896 and was elected to serve as Governor from 1897-1901. The school suffered a fire ca. 1980 and was taken down. The location is now the site of a drugstore.
