The John Adams School is a historic school building at 16 Church Street in Weymouth, Massachusetts. The Greek Revival/Italianate school building was built in 1855, on the site of Weymouth's first school building (1681). It is Weymouth's oldest surviving school building. It is 2-1/2 stories tall, with a front-facing gable roof that has a bracketed gable. The main facade is three bays wide, with windows that have bracketed surrounds, and a pair of entrances with bracketed cornices above.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1] It presently houses a daycare center.
