The original Number 6 School was located on 38th Street between Avenue C and Avenue D. It was built in 1888 at a total cost of $21,000. The population rapidly increased in the uptown section causing the school to become overcrowded. The city determined that an addition should be added to the existing structure. In 1914 construction of the present eastern and central sections was completed. At that time the building was named Horace Mann School. The final phase of the building included tearing down the original structure and erecting an entire new western section. This construction was delayed by World War I but finally completed in 1924.
