After completing two years at the school, students could specialize in wood-working, pattern making, metal working, instrument making, mechanical drawing, architectural drawing, wood carving, free-hand drawing or applied electricity.
The school was founded after three Hebrew charity organizations formed a committee to promote technical education for the many Jewish immigrants arriving in New York at the time. The school originally opened at 206 East Broadway. After a number of relocations, the school moved into 34 and 36 Stuyvesant Street.[1]

gollark: For generating sensible output, there are better text generation things, but Markov chains have the advantage of being really simple.
gollark: The main reason I like caddy is just that it does HTTPS conveniently, and I reshuffle subdomains and such a lot so that's quite helpful.
gollark: Apache uses some weird XMLy thing and also htaccess.
gollark: To be honest I'm kind of tempted to switch back to nginx, but its configuration is *also* somewhat annoying.
gollark: So I finished upgrading to caddy 2, and it hasn't resolved the websocket issue, irritatingly. I'm going to have to do more debugging on this tomorrow, because I can't really be bothered to do much more today after attempting to wrangle its somewhat annoying new config format.
