Eveleth Manual Training School
The Eveleth Manual Training School was the first vocational school in the U.S. state of Minnesota, built in the city of Eveleth in 1914. It was a publicly funded school established to prepare workers for the increasing mechanization of the local mining industry.[2] The school offered a two-year program for high school and adult males. Initial courses covered sheet metal work, forging, and engine repair. Within a few years classes had expanded to cover woodworking, cabinetry, plumbing, printing, mechanical drafting, and electrical work.[3][4] In the 1960s and 1970s, the building was used by the Eveleth Independent School District as the "Industrial Arts Building" for 9th through 12th grade students, teaching the skills already noted.[citation needed] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 for its local significance in the themes of architecture, education, and industry.[5] It was nominated as a pivotal emblem of the Progressive Era response to mass production and betterment of the working class.[2] It was demolished in 2022 and delisted in 2024.
