DescriptionYoung men sit at desks drawing. All of them wear suits, but some have removed their jackets revealing vests. A middle-aged bald man with a mustache wearing a bow tie is probably the teacher. T-squares hang on a pier in the middle of the room and are used by some of the students. Electric light bulbs with shades hang from the ceiling on wires.
NotesSubject Note: The Hillyer Institute was the Educational Department of the Hartford YMCA. The YMCA was located at 315-323 Pearl Street, at the corner of Jewell Street.Status
