The lobby of the Bayard Rustin Educational Complex at 351 West 18th Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, has a plaque dedicating to the memory of the vocational education pioneer Dr. Gustave Straubenmuller. Although the building was originally constructed in 1930 as Textile High School, the name was later changed to Straubenmuller Textile High School.
