Developed by Rogerson, this 120-year-old building was the former Longfellow Elementary School which had been vacant since 1989.

Public transportation is available at the front entrance, and neighborhood shops and restaurants are within walking distance.The front yard of Longfellow House has been transformed into The Roslindale Public Gardens at Longfellow House, providing beautiful, useable outdoor space for residents and their neighbors.
