"The New York School of Applied Design for Women was an early design school for women in New York City.
The school was established in 1892 by philanthropist Ellen Dunlop Hopkins as part of the Arts and Crafts movement. It aimed to "afford women practical instruction which will enable them to earn a livelihood by the application of ornamental design to manufacture and the numerous Arts and Crafts" (Bailey). The school provided courses in book cover design, stained glass, textile and wallpaper design, illustration, etc., with a salesroom for student products.
Before 1912, the New York School of Applied Design for Women was closely associated with Columbia University, as architecture students received part of their professional training in the offices of practicing architects. One of these "ateliers" was run by Harvey Wiley Corbett, an architect and instructor at the school.[1]
The school was originally located at 200 West 23rd Street. In 1909, the school moved to a new building at 160 Lexington Avenue designed by Harvey Wiley Corbett. Partial funding for the new structure came from John D. Rockefeller.[1] The school became the New York Phoenix School of Design in 1944, and some thirty years later merged with the Pratt Institute to form the Pratt-Phoenix School of Design. The 160 Lexington Ave. building was designated a New York City Landmark in 1977 and also formerly housed part of Touro College, which sold it to a private investor in 2006."
