Gramercy, 22nd Street Between Park Avenue South and Lexington

I wanted to make fun of School of the Future based on their sign which looks 1930s to me, but I was rebuked by their website which extolls the school. Maybe it is that good. I hope so. The lettering in stone that runs above the arches and looks even older than 1930, more like medieval, reads Manhattan Trade School for Girls. This link is part of a larger site called the Proposed Gramercy Park Historic District Extension, which has information on a number of buildings in the Gramercy area, including the one featured in the last two posts, The Gramercy Arms.
