Description

Core documents, correspondence, writings, and administrative papers about Girl’s Industrial Building ; clippings, photographs, books about Girl’s Industrial Building ;
Girl’s Industrial Building, also known as “Girl’s Home Economics Building,” was begun in 1924. The weaving room was occupied in the first part of 1925. The remainder of the building was completed and occupied in the fall of 1925.  In 1940 the building and equipment was valued at $4,982.00. The Construction is a two-story wooden frame building with a basement of stone construction. The original building had three rooms on the main floor, with a fairly large kitchen and two coal stoves, a laundry with one coal stove, and a very large sewing room heated with a coal stove. It was noted in one record that the building was very poorly constructed and that the joists and rafters are too small and are buckling badly.
