[EDUCATION]. HYMAN, photographer. A group of 6 photographs of Tuskegee Institute buildings and grounds, incl. the Wayside Inn and Dairy Barn. Ca early 1900s.
6 vintage photographs, 10 x 8 in. (including margins) (toning, occasional spotting, some with small holes to margins, some with chipping and loss to edges). Each print is numbered in the negative, and 3 of the 6 prints are credited in the negative to "Hyman Photo." Each with typed label stapled to margin identifying the location. Locations/scenes include: "'Wayside Inn' -- One of the First Dormitories." -- "The Dairy Barn." -- "The Power Plant." -- "Students' project work in agriculture." -- "Some of the swine heard [sic]." -- "Cabbage Patch - Truck Garden Division" (few holes near top right corner of print).
Booker T. Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute in 1881, serving as its principal until his death in 1915. The school instilled Washington’s principles of providing practical training for African Americans and helping them develop economic independence through the mastery of agricultural skills and manual trades.
