Washington Irving High School, located at 40 Irving Place in New York City, was established in 1913 and functioned as a prominent public high school. Known for its impressive architectural design featuring Beaux-Arts style elements, the institution has a storied history in educational development. Originally an all-girls school, it eventually became coeducational. Over the years, the school has seen a decline in enrollment and performance, leading to its eventual phase-out and closure in 2015. The building has since been repurposed to house several smaller public high schools. Despite its closure, the school remains significant for its historical and architectural value in the community.
