In the image, a few girls walk on the tree-lined grounds of the school. The institution's curriculum combined teacher training with a liberal arts education of natural philosophy, chemistry, astronomy, and other sciences. The school closed in the early 1850s and the property was purchased by Sister Cornelia Connelly in 1867 for Holy Child Academy. Clipping from an unknown source. 13 x 8 cm.
