  • Description
  • Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kaufmann endowed the Irene Kaufmann Settlement (IKS) in 1909, in memory of their daughter. The IKS was originally founded as the Columbian Council School and Settlement in 1895. The IKS was nonsectarian and provided a wide variety of services to the immigrant community in Pittsburgh's Hill District neighborhood. Clubs were established for practically every age and interest group. The settlement's recreational and social activities were also trendsetters in Pittsburgh beyond, including their play school, day camps and playgrounds, and Emma Farm Camp in Harmony (Butler County), Pennsylvania. The Irene Kaufmann Settlement merged with the YM@WHA and evolved into the present-day Jewish Community Center (JCC) in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill neighborhood. The JCC continues the tradition of the IKS in providing programs and services to the nonsectarian community.
