Early 1880s

Thirteen schools managed by the Senekerimian Society in this earlier account. Not a 1914 census.

The early-1880s record is retained as historical context. The eve-of-1915 institutional inventory remains to be established.

Trades, industries and influence

Community investment

Property sustaining education · 1878–early 1880s context

The Senekerimian and Aramian inns supported Armenian schools through their revenue. This earlier example documents how communal property sustained education; it is not presented as the city’s 1914 economic profile.
