Mechanic Arts High School is built.

Architect: Edmund March Wheelwright. It is designed in the Italian Renaissance style and located near today’s 40 Dalton Street (then Belvidere Street). An annex is built in 1906. Originally for boys only, it becomes coeducational and one of the city’s three “exam schools.” Graduates include Richard Egan and William Bratton. Renamed Boston Technical High School in 1944, it moves to the former Roxbury Memorial High School building on Townsend Street in 1959. An addition is built in 1960. The school moves to the former Humphrey Occupational Resource Center on New Dudley Street in 1987, merges with Mario Umana Technical High School in 1989, and is renamed the John O’Bryant High School of Mathematics and Science in 1992.
