History
Jonathan Bostick, a wealthy planter, funded the establishment of this academy in 1892 following the destruction of Porter Female Academy during the Civil War. The new building rose as a replacement for the lost educational institution for girls.

The building sits in a quiet rural area near College Grove on an expansive lot that can be viewed from the road. Access is best during daylight hours since it now functions as a private residence and can only be appreciated from the exterior.
