PS 41 opened in 1867. When Grammar School No. 41 first opened, it was located by what is now the school yard entrance at Greenwich Avenue and Charles Street. At the time a girls’-only school, it was described by The New York Times as a “model of comfort and neatness” and “one of the finest school buildings in the city.” cite-ref-1[1]

Grammar School No. 41 was touted in the 1867 BOE Annual Report as having “been erected with great care,”and as “one of the most elegant and substantial School Houses yet erected." Over the years, the school became known for its academic excellence, frequently making headlines for the high number of its graduates who qualified for “Normal School” (i.e. those who qualify to teach school). In 1957, a new building replaced the original structure, designed by the New York City Board of Education's chief architect, Michael L. Radoslovich.cite-ref-blind-2-0[2]cite-ref-3[3]
