Washington Heights, Amsterdam Avenue Between 190th and 193rd Streets

Okay, now we're back on the Washington Heights walk, briefly interrupted for some snow pics.

Would you believe that these buildings are part (the back part) of George Washington High School?  Here's the front.  According to Wikipedia, Maria Callas attended this high school.  Also Henry Kissenger.  And since they were both born in 1923, they must have attended at the same time.  Can't you just see them as teenagers, holding hands, going to the soda shop after school?

See map.
