"Halleck Hall. Louisville, Ky."
Post card mailed in 1938
When
this card was sent, Halleck Hall, built in 1934,
contained Louisville Girl's
High School as well as the
Louisville Junior High School. The last class of Girl's High
graduated in 1950.
That year, the school became coed
and merged with DuPont Manual High School,
the name by
which it is most commonly known today.
The
building, named for educator Rueben Post Halleck,
is located at 2nd and Lee Streets. The residential area east
of the
school (right in this picture) have been replaced with
Manual's athletic
fields, and the area behind the school has
since been taken over and rebuilt
as part of the
University of Louisville campus.
