Pickering & Carter design a four-story building for the Hebrew Technical Institute
Architects Pickering & Carter designed this building at 225 East 9th Street, built in 1891 for the Hebrew Technical Institute. The Baron Hirsch Fund Trade School occupied it in the early 20th century. That fund, created by the philanthropists Baron and Baroness de Hirsch, taught trades to Jewish immigrants and was overseen by the United Hebrew Charities.

The Institute connects its buildings and raises 225 East 9th Street to six stories
In 1901 the Hebrew Technical Institute filed a permit to connect its building at 34-36 Stuyvesant Street to 225 East 9th Street. An 1903 map shows the work complete, with No. 225 raised to six stories. The scrolled pediment, keystones, and bracketed cornice seen today were presumably added then.

The Institute opens a five-story addition at 28 Stuyvesant Street
The Hebrew Technical Institute bought 28 Stuyvesant Street in 1910, and in 1914 Joseph Steinam and the firm Rouse & Goldstone were reported to be drawing plans for an addition to its building at 34 Stuyvesant. The new facility was open by February 1916. The building, with tall arched first-floor windows and an entrance framed by engaged columns, is now NYU's Barney Building.
