The Second American School for the Deaf
Expanding American Deaf Education
By the end of 1817 Gallaudet and Clerc needed more space for their growing number of students. They purchased the home that stood at this location from attorney Thomas Day. This second location is sometimes still referred to as the Day School. Now a bustling intersection, this was the site of the American School for the Deaf from 1817 until 1821.
