Old Watertown High School, a 3½-story brick building erected in 1913 at 341 Mount Auburn Street in Watertown, Massachusetts, exemplifies Tudor Revival architecture and stands as one of the town's most imposing public structures. Designed by local architect Charles Brigham, the English Revival building originally served as Watertown's high school before its conversion to a junior high school in 1925, a function it maintained until the late 1980s. After a period of vacancy, the structure was converted to assisted living housing in the 2000s under the name Brigham House. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006, the building remains a significant landmark about one mile east of Watertown's center.
