Interior view of the Labor Lyceum. The doors at the rear of the hall (beneath the balcony) led to the library (center-left), front entrance (center-right) and school office (right). Translation of the Yiddish text on the library door reads: “A R Shule, I.L. Peretz, Biblyotek” (Workmen’s Circle School, I. L. Peretz, Library). At the other end of the room was a stage for performances. The facility was made available for use by Greenbush neighborhood groups, in this case a birthday party for an African American family.
