The Upsala Street School is a historic school building at 36 Upsala Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. The 2-1/2 story brick Romanesque Revival structure was designed by architect George Clemence and built in 1894. Additions were added to the south in 1902 and 1923 to meet increasing demand. The main facade is symmetrical, with a large central projecting section which has the main entry recessed inside a round archway, which is flanked by a pair of smaller blind arches. Above the entry is a shallow balcony with a sandstone plaque identifying the building.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
