Carlisle, PA - Coren Apartments - Teachers Housing
The Coren Apartments building, which primarily housed teachers at the Carlisle Indian School, an Indian boarding and industrial school from 1879 through 1918, in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The school — now called the “Carlisle Barracks” — controversially strove to immerse its students into mainstream Euro-American culture. It gained fame when Jim Thorpe, one of its students, became an Olympic and football, and baseball star. Remnants are preserved within the U.S. Army War College. Photo by Carol Highsmith, 2019.
