If this is the Overbrook School for the Blind in Philly, this photo is dated wrong or named later. The school didn't change its name to Overbrook School for the Blind until 1946. It was called Pennsylvania Institute for the Instruction of the Blind until then.
Maybe everyone called it Overbrook anyway? www.obs.org
This photo was invited and added to the Disability History group.

An extensive piece about a blind man, with a quote: "at the Overbrook School in Philadelphia, where I studied ..." So it looks as though the name change in 1946 may have been recognition that it was usually referred to as "the Overbrook school."
