Maplewood School
The Maplewood School, also known as Grammar School No.
Maplewood School
5, is a historic school building at 434 Maplewood Avenue in
Bridgeport, Connecticut. It was built in 1893, and was designed U.S. National Register of Historic
by Longstaff & Hurd. As a result of overcrowding, in 1903 Places
architect Henry A. Howe, Jr. designed additions, which were built
onto both fronts of the school.[2] In 1908, the school was once
again enlarged with an annex designed by Joseph W. Northrop.[3]
The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places
in 1990 and includes two contributing buildings.[1][4]

Significance
Maplewood School is historically significant as an example of the
development of Bridgeport's school system in the late 19th and
early 20th century. A rapidly expanding Bridgeport was then
undertaking a massive building program to replace its aging one
and two-room schoolhouses with modern schools.[4]
