NYC – Morningside Heights: New York Training School for Teachers and New York Model School

Image by wallyg
The New York Training School for Teachers and New York Model School, now the A. Philip Randolph Campus High School, at 443-465 West 135th Street, was built in 1924-26 to the design of Wiliam H. Gompert. It was the first building constructed expressly for the Training School, first opened in 1898 and one of three municipal teacher-training schools maintained by the Board of Education. Most of New York’s elementary school teachers, the vast majority of them women, were trained at these schools.
The five- and six-story(plus basement and central tower) L-shaped New York Training School for Teachers/New York Model School was designed in an abstracted contemporary Collegiate Gothic style and clad in limestone and mottled buff-tobrown ironspot brick, with large window bays filled with unusual folding-casement steel sash windows. Exterior articulation, divided vertically by pavilions, buttresses, and square towers, also differentiated the model school and training school portions, as well as a "churchlike" wing housing an auditorium above which is a gymnasium. The Training School became the New York Teachers Training College (1931-33), which was abolished during the Depression when there was a surplus of teachers for the city’s school system. The building later housed Public School 193 (1933-52) and, for nearly fifty years, the High School of Music and Art. Established in 1936 by Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia and considered to be the first public high school in the United States specializing in the study of music and art, the High School of Music and Art produced many graduates who have distinguished themselves in the professions of music, the arts, and education, among others. After the school was merged with the High School of Performing Arts and relocated to Lincoln Center in 1984, the New York Training School for Teachers building has been the A. Philip Randolph Campus High School.
The New York Training School for Teachers and New York Model School, now the A. Philip Randolph Campus High School, was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1997.
