Hand colored photo from 1905
Original title: McKinley School Shop
Photographer: Harris & Ewing
Location: Washington DC

This is a trade school where kids learned valuable lessons on how to use machines to go out into the workforce. This particular school was the McKinley Manual Training School that opened in 1902, it was a vocational school for white students. However they moved the school to a new location that was larger in 1928, which they then renamed the school to the Shaw Junior High School, which by the 1960's, fell into disrepair and it was locally known as the "Shameful Shaw". Eventually it closed as a school and became a home for senior citizens named the Asbury Dwellings.

It's unknown where this building existed or if its even still there. I couldn't find if they carried this program over to the junior high, I'm thinking no.

A lot of work went into restoring this image, chunks of it were missing so the scene had to be rebuilt. Luckily there...

My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
