Kate Furbish Elementary School

The Coffin School, located at 20 Barrows Street in Brunswick, Maine, is a historic educational landmark that has served the local community for generations. Originally constructed in 1847 and expanded over the years, the building is notable for its classic red-brick architecture and its long-standing role as a cornerstone of the neighborhood's academic history. While it has transitioned through various uses over its lifespan—including serving as an elementary school for the Brunswick School Department—it remains a well-recognized local institution known for its central location and contribution to the town’s architectural heritage.

In recent years, the Coffin School has transitioned away from its traditional role as an active primary school, as the district consolidated its elementary facilities. Today, the building serves as the home for the Brunswick School Department's administrative offices. While the sound of young students filling its classrooms has faded, the historic property continues to function as the central hub for the district's leadership and operations, ensuring that the site remains an integral part of the Brunswick educational community.
