  • Description
  • Irene Kaufmann Settlement (IKS) students, Ethal Gerson, Charlotte Cohen, and Viola Schmidt are practicing the piano. The Irene Kaufmann Settlement (IKS) was well known for its music and art schools and Little Theater productions. Many students of Anna Perlow (music) and Samuel Rosenberg (art) went on to become well-known musicians and artists. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kaufmann endowed the IKS in 1909, in memory of their daughter to serve the Jewish immigrant community that lived in Pittsburgh's Hill District neighborhood. The IKS was originally founded as the Columbian Council School and Settlement in 1895. 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 local community.
