Historical NotesChildren's chair from Arsenal Nursery School, now Arsenal Family and Children's Center, in Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania. Arsenal Nursery School was founded in the Lawrenceville section of Pittsburgh in 1953 by pediatrician Dr. Benjamin Spock, who designed the school as a training site for pediatric students to study normal child behavior in a stable environment over generations. In 1980, Arsenal Family and Children's Center became a private, non-profit organization; in 2003, it was relocated to Friendship and operates as a developmental preschool and social services agency. It continues to train college and university students in the Pittsburgh community.
