The Almshouse is an historic almshouse located at 45 Matignon Road in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is now the site of the International School of Boston's main campus.
It is a large three-story stone structure with modest Greek Revival styling. It has a central octagonal administrative section from which four wings of varying sizes radiate. The building was built out of slate quarried on site, with dressed dark granite corner quoining. The building was designed by architect Gridley J.F. Bryant and prison reform expert Rev. Louis Dwight. A similar design was used by Bryant for Boston's Charles Street Jail (built in 1848). The building was the fifth and final instance of an almshouse built by the city.[2]
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, where it is incorrectly listed at 41 Orchard Street.[1]
