Washington Education Center (Pittsburgh)

Washington Education Center, originally known as the Washington Industrial School, is a former vocational school in the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Lawrenceville at 40th Street and Eden Way. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 and was designated a Historic Landmark by the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation in 2002. The school operated from 1909 to 2006 and was later converted into a hotel. The school was named in honor of George Washington's 1753 crossing of the Allegheny River with Christopher Gist, which occurred nearby. A marker on the school noting the event was dedicated in 1908. History The Washington Industrial School opened in 1909 next door to Washington Sub-District School No. 1 on 40th Street. It was reported to be Pittsburgh's first school building entirely devoted to industrial training. The two-story building, designed by the "otherwise unknown" architect Charles W. Bier, contained a "reception room, display room, carving room, drafting room, directors' room, lathe room, bench room, and demonstration room" on the first floor and on the second floor the "modeling department, freehand drawing room, sewing room, kitchen, dining room and pantry, in addition to which is a spacious library". A swimming pool and gymnasium were located in the basement. In 1930, the school was expanded to take in the students from the Arsenal Trade School, which was being razed to clear the site for Arsenal Junior High School. A one-story shop building was constructed behind the school to accommodate the additional students. In 1937, a much larger addition was built onto the front of the original school with the help of federal Public Works Administration funding. The new building was a four-story, Art-Deco-style structure designed by Marion M. Steen. It had a capacity of 900 students and included facilities for printing, drafting, and bricklaying along with an auditorium. By 1969, the school's enrollment had declined to only 100 students and it was converted from a vocational-technical high school into an "Education Center" which housed various programs including occupational-vocational-technical classes and an experimental open classroom school. On February 2, 1972, Julie Nixon Eisenhower visited the school during her fathers re-election campaign to discuss busing. In May 1972, an international contingent of students visited the center from Brazil, Thailand, South Korea, Venezuela, Chile, Peru, Afghanistan, and Libya. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It was used as a school until 2006 and later sold with plans to be converted to a hotel. It opened in 2019 as the TRYP by Wyndham Pittsburgh/Lawrenceville, with 108 guest rooms and two restaurants. The hotel experienced financial problems and is facing foreclosure as of 2025, with one developer proposing to turn the building into affordable housing.

Waynesborough

Waynesborough, also known as the Gen. Anthony Wayne House, is a historic house museum at 2049 Waynesborough Road in Easttown Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Built in 1724 and repeatedly enlarged, it was for many years the home of American Revolutionary War general and Founding Father Anthony Wayne (1745–1796). A National Historic Landmark, it is now a museum operated by the Philadelphia Society for the Preservation of Landmarks, offering tours and event rentals. Description and history Waynesborough is located about 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the center of Paoli, on the north side of Waynesborough Road. It is a roughly U-shaped stone structure, the main block 2+1⁄2 stories in height and covered by a gabled roof. It is five bays wide, with a center entrance sheltered by a gabled hood. The roof has two gabled dormers to the front and three to the rear, with two interior stone chimneys. Lower two-story wings extend toward the rear on the right side and to the left on the left side. The left (west) wing is the oldest portion of the house. The oldest portion of the house was built by Wayne's grandfather, Captain W. M. Wayne, in 1724. Captain Wayne's son enlarged the house in 1765 and a wing was added in 1812. It was at Waynesborough that Anthony Wayne was born in 1745, and it was his home for all but the last five years of his life. Wayne continued his father's farm and tannery, and became involved in the Patriot cause early in the American Revolution. He distinguished himself as a military leader in the American Revolutionary War for his brash and sometimes risky maneuvers, winning him the moniker "Mad" Anthony. He died in what is now Erie, Pennsylvania, while leading troops in the aftermath of the Northwest Indian War. The Waynesborough property remained in the hands of Wayne's direct descendants until 1965, and was in 1980 transferred to a local preservation group. The Philadelphia Society for the Preservation of Landmarks now manages the property, and offers tours from mid-March through December on Thursday through Sunday.
