1) A followup concerning the ForgottenChicago posting of the Washburne Trade School.
Does anyone know the name of the Chicago Public Schools school for delinquent boys that I believe was located in the former Washburne Trade School building at Division and Sedgewick.
2) I believe that the original Lane Tech High School was located in this Division and Sedgewick building, and that Washburne Trade School took over the building when Lane Tech moved to their present campus on Addison. I don't think this was mentioned in the ForgottenChicago item.

Montefiore is where they sent you if you relly messed up. If you graduated from Montefiore your diploma had the name of the school that you came from, not Montefiore. A diploma from there would be like a diploma from Joliet!

The boys were threatened with Montefiore and the girls with Lucy Flower. The residence home for "juvenile delinquents" was The Audy Home.
