James Madison High School, c.1924 The school was named after President James Madison because of Madison’s strongly held belief that “…people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives”. When it opened to students in 1925, the high school consisted of two red brick buildings, one standing three stories tall and the other five. The project was designed and conceived by William H. Gompert, Architect/School Superintendent, to address school overcrowding due to a surge in Brooklyn’s population. During his five years as School Superintendent, Gompert would design more than 170 schools! Among James Madison High School many accolades, the school is one of only a handful of high schools worldwide to have educated five or more #NobelLaureates. Famous alumni include: Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Bernie Sanders, Senator Chuck Schumer, Judge Judy, Carole King, and Chris Rock! Do you know someone who attended #JamesMadison?

Laundry in the Bronx, c.1932 🧺 Sol & Simon Cashman arrived in New York from Russia at the turn of the 20th century with a ruble and a dream. In 1914, they established a small storefront laundry in the Bronx. After years of hard work, in 1931 they made plans to relocate and build a new 3-story structure in the South Bronx. Designed by architects Walter & Russell Cory, we built the Cashman Laundry for a mere $186,000 (that’s $3,800,000 in today’s dollars). Completed in 1932, the Art Deco building is located at 350 Gerard Avenue. At the time, the bright white building stood out from its neighbors with alternating bands of sand-painted concrete and aluminum windows. We think it was around the early 2000’s that the building was converted to host two high schools: Health Opportunities High School & Community School for Social Justice. So the next time you drive north on the Major Deegan, slow down before Exit 4 and look to your right - the building is now red. #BuiltbyTurner #TurnerNewYork #CashmanLaundry #TheBronx #ArtDeco
