Boswell Public School was constructed in 1922 on Boswell Avenue in the College Hill neighborhood of Topeka, Kansas. In 1928, the school began the junior high program and starting with the 1929 school year, it became Boswell Junior High School. The school colors were red and white and their mascot were the Wildcats.
Due to consolidation, Boswell Junior High was closed down and then demolished in 1981. Due to be replaced by apartments, the neighborhood stepped up to turn the land into a park, Boswell Square. The date stone of the school was incorporated into the wall of fame and a gazebo from Menninger's was installed along with a flower garden, playground equipment, and a basketball court. The gazebo was recently replaced with a new one as was the playground equipment but the park continues to be a centerpiece of the Historic College Hill neighborhood.
