The Armstrong Manual Training School, also known as the Samuel Chapman Armstrong Technical High School, is a historic school, located at 1st Street and P Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Truxton Circle neighborhood.[3]

History

It was designed by local architect Waddy B. Wood in 1902. The Renaissance Revival building was one of two segregated manual training schools constructed for the city's African-American youth.[4] It was named for Samuel C. Armstrong.[5] It was dedicated by Booker T. Washington, on October 24, 1902.[6]

The building served as Veterans High School, between 1958 and 1964. Since 1964, it has served as the Armstrong Adult Education Center.[4] The school was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
