| Prettyman Gymnasium |
The 18-acre Horace Mann Campus overlooks Van Cortlandt Park in the Fieldston-Riverdale section of New York. Upper School Campus Buildings include Tillinghast Hall, which houses administrative offices, classrooms, and the 40,000-volume Theresa H. Loeb Library. Alfred Gross Hall (1961) contains the 600-seat Van Alsytne Auditorium and dining rooms. Pforzheimer Hall (1956) and the Gratwick Science Wing (1975) include classrooms and facilities for the science, art and music departments. Prettyman Gymnasium contains basketball courts, an indoor track, swimming pool, and a fully equipped Nautilus room as well as exercise and training rooms. Other athletic facilities include playing fields and seven tennis and handball courts. Van Cortlandt Park provides additional space for athletics.
The Boys' School, which is at the school's current location at 246th Street in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, is reported to have cost \\$20,001 to purchase in 1909. The \\$20,000 paid for the property itself; Virgil Prettyman, Headmaster from 1894 to 1920, had trouble finding the location and asked a local homeless man in Van Cortlandt Park how to get to the site. The man showed him the way in exchange for a \\$1 quart of hard apple cider.
