Dudley Hill Grammar and Primary School (1892, DUD.57, 133 Center Road, Contributing). is a one-story Romanesque brick school building was gifted to the Town of Dudley by Hezekiah Conant and designed by architect Charles F. Wilcox of Providence. This hipped-roofed building has two dramatic cross gables flanking a small central roof dormer, highlighting the original design of two large schoolrooms off a central hallway. The building has a rough-cut granite base with granite accents interspersed within the brick walls.

Nichols College leased the school building from the Town of Dudley in 1957 and purchased it in 1962. The building shows little change from its historic appearance, although a wood-frame rear porch seen in the 1911 and 1928 Sanborn maps has disappeared. At the front, the most notable changes are a long brick-walled, disabled-access ramp and the metal “Currier Center” letters affixed to the central arch.
