Thanks for playing, folks! This is indeed Mechanics Arts High. The photo was taken in the early 1930s. There is a note on the back of the photo that reads: "Part of Forge Shop at Mechanic Arts High School, Boston. This shop has equipment which allows a class of seventy puipls to work at one time"

Where specifically was Mechanic Arts High School located? I'm not sure I was looking at the right thing online. Is the building still there?

It was at Dalton & Belvidere. There's a Hilton there now.

It was huge (scroll past the photo of the girls doing some weird 19th-century exercising).
A charming hearth ....

I imagine those are indoor coal hearths? Just the thing for staying warm on a Boston winter morning ...
