A little School History : "Pullman Technical High School was opened in 1915 as the result of a bequeathing of $1.2 million dollars from the will of George Pullman, the creator of the railroad sleeping car. His will stated that the school be free of charge to those wishing to take manual training classes and that either lived or worked in the Pullman community. One hundred and six students were enrolled on the day the school opened in September that year. The school continued thru two World Wars and a depression before it was decided to close the school in 1950. The main reason for the closure was that the endowment that Pullman set up in his will did not have enough money to continue offering education with the rising costs. At that point, 600 students were enrolled at Pullman Tech and did not pay anything for their education. With the help of the Superior Court of Cook County, the Chicago Board of Education was able to close the school and allow for an educational foundation to be created in its place."
