Hannah Davis Richards, born in 1804, taught at the Baker Street School, the first schoolhouse in West Roxbury, built by her grandfather. This one-room school served grades K to 5. Hannah’s diary provides valuable insights into life in early 19th-century West Roxbury and is an important historical source.
