History and architectural features
Ths historic structure was named after Captain James Lawrence, whose last words, "Don't give up the ship!", gained famed during the War of 1812.
The school was damaged by a fire in 1912, but was able to be repaired. Reportedly, a crowd of school children danced and cheered as the building burned and its 200-pound (91 kg) bell fell from its supports. It closed in 1939, along with the nearby Bayard School and Foster School, when all students were transferred to the new elementary wing of Arsenal Junior High School.
The building was sold in 1945 and then used as a warehouse.
The school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The two upper floors were destroyed by a fire in 1987 and the building was truncated at the ground floor.
Since 2017, it has housed a brewery, Eleventh Hour Brewing.
