Fourteenth Ward Industrial School, Historic school building in Nolita, Manhattan, US.

The Fourteenth Ward Industrial School stands at 256-258 Mott Street between Prince and Houston Streets, featuring Victorian Gothic architectural elements and red brick construction.

Built in 1888-89 with funding from John Jacob Astor III, the school was established by the Children's Aid Society to provide education for children in need.

The building represents the educational reform movement of the late 19th century, when institutions focused on combining academic learning with practical skills training.

The structure, now converted into residential units, received its New York City landmark designation in 1977 and maintains its original external architectural features.

Architect Calvert Vaux, who designed Central Park, created this Queen Anne style building that later became known as the Astor Memorial School.
