During 1861–1862, new monies provided for industrial education were used to rent a nearby shop in order to teach cabinet-making to the male students. Plans were underway to construct a new building using $9,000 that Congress appropriated to the school. There were 35 deaf students and 6 blind students. During vacation in August a regiment of [[Union (Civil War)|Union]] troops used the brick building for a hospital, and some of the students who stayed over the summer helped with tending to the sick soldiers.
