St. Mary's Parochial School is a historic former parochial school on Beaver Street south of Broad Street in New Britain, Connecticut. It is a three-story brick structure on a brownstone foundation, with a hip roof and a slightly projecting gabled entry section. The main entrance stands under a large round-arch recess, which is flanked by narrow sash windows with transom. A brownstone beltcourse separates the floors, and there are a pair of sash windows above the entrance arch, with flanking narrow sash windows; these windows are all topped by transoms with diamond grillwork. The school was built in 1904, and is an excellent local example of Classical Revival architecture. St. Mary's was established in 1862, and this was the first brick school building in the city.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1] It has been converted to elderly housing.
