This four-room school house opened in April 1888. It was named after J. Eliot Cabot, a Brookline architect and one-time school committee member. The school, built on land purchased from Henry M. Whitney, the developer of the Beacon Street and the West End Railway, replaced the school on Harvard and Pleasant streets that was demolished for the 1887 widening of Beacon St.

The building was no longer serving as a school by the late 1930s and became the site for the School Committee which was moved here from Holden Hall (the Town Hall annex) to make room for the Engineering Department. It was torn down in 1957 for the subsidized housing now on the site.

The house at 44 Marion St. is under construction on the right, still standing.
