Let’s take a break from the Washington Sanitary Improvement Company houses and look at some old photos of Truxton Circle schools.
Below is Armstrong Technical High School in March 1942.

If I were to guess this is probably the P Street side of the school. Free free to argue with me in the comments.

Duke Ellington, for whom a bunch of buildings around DC are named, attended Armstrong to study art and design.
Currently, Armstrong is the location of one of the Friendship Charter Schools for Pre-K and elementary aged children.
