The 1873 one-room schoolhouse in Holbrook

The Roberts School served the town of Holbrook for over a century before becoming a home for local history.

The Roberts School is a historic school building at 320 Union Street in Holbrook, Massachusetts. Built in 1873, it was the first school building the town built after incorporating. The one-room schoolhouse is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure featuring a singular classroom and two doorways providing access to separate vestibules.

The building functioned as a schoolhouse until 1979. In 1980, it became the home for the Holbrook Historical Society.

The Roberts School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. It remains a preserved site of the town's architectural and educational history.
