Off to school in my mother’s time but not my mother’s school. No she went to Hastings on Hudson (New York) High School but might have liked the Howard Seminary seen here better. Lots of sports. Mom would have liked that, she was on swim team.

The Howard Seminary for Women was a private school for girls. It opened in the 1890s and closed in 1957, from what I am finding. My own mother attended a public high school and then went to a women’s college. I went to a boarding school for girls that must have been like the Howard Seminary that reworked itself as Walnut Hill School for the Arts soon after I graduated.

Spending the day at the Brookline Massachusetts public bathhouse which was built in 1897 and torn down in the mid 1950s. Built in an era when many apartments didn’t come with bathtubs or showers. Many cities and towns had one. The park down the hill from me had one, too.
