Grosse Pointe Academy
Grosse Pointe Academy, Renaissance Revival educational complex in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan.
The campus spans a long strip between Grosse Pointe Boulevard and Lake Shore Drive, featuring seven buildings with five contributing historic structures.
The Society of the Sacred Heart obtained the property in 1867, transforming a French ribbon farm into an educational institution for young ladies.
The institution evolved from a Catholic boarding school operated by cloistered nuns to a modern co-educational day school serving preschool through middle school.
The National Register of Historic Places documentation provides extensive information about the property through searchable databases and digital archives.
The property maintained its self-sustaining farm operations until the 1940s, combining agricultural practices with educational functions.
