Haaren High School

Haaren High School was a public high school in the Midtown Manhattan area of New York City in New York, United States. It was located at 899 Tenth Avenue, between 58th Street and 59th Street, in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood. The building was designed by Charles B. J. Snyder and was originally constructed in 1903 to house DeWitt Clinton High School. When that school relocated to the Bronx in 1929, the building became home to Haaren High School until it closed in the late 1970s. Named for educator John Henry Haaren, the school was noted for its vocational program, including classes focusing on internal combustion engines. After developers announced plans to renovate the building to create offices, production studios and retail stores, John Jay College purchased the structure in 1988 and remodeled it to house offices, a library, classrooms and other facilities. It is now known as Haaren Hall.

Historique

La Dixième Avenue traverse le quartier de Chelsea, puis avec le nom d'Amsterdam Avenue, elle traverse le quartier de l'Upper West Side, et le quartier d'Harlem. L'avenue a longtemps été connue pour son trafic commercial, et dispose d'une ligne de chemin de fer. Au XIXe siècle, lorsque la ligne West Side passait le long de l'avenue, des cowboys montés à cheval (appelés Tenth Avenue Cowboy) avertissaient les gens qu'un train approchait. La ligne a ensuite été élevée au-dessus du niveau de la voie.
