Public School 64 We're still missing a fair amount of information on P.S. 64. The building is no longer standing, so we are looking for both a closing date and a demolition date. Located on the north side of Belmont Ave. between Berriman and Atkins.
		Public School 64, 1892 The building most folks remember is not the original school. I don't have a build date yet for this structure but this picture appeared in an 1892 review of schools in the East New York area. The school was built on the farmland of Joseph Hegeman who also served as an early trustee of the school. That appears to be the newly built El running on Pitkin in the background, suggesting the school faced west to Berriman. From the Brian Merlis Archives.
		New Public School 64, 1906 The wood structure is actually moved over to Linwood Street and New Lots Avenue and becomes home to the St. Gabriel's congregation. The new brick structure opens in 1901. .

		Public School 64 Senior Day, 1952 Marilyn (Rosen) Cantor surprised me with this 1952 image. Taken with her friend Sandra Serota, they are dressed for "Senior Day". I thought "Baby Day" was only a Franklin K. Lane tradition, so now we're wondering when did it start (and end). The picture was taken in front of 297 Atkins Avenue.
