Villa de Chantal Historic District
Villa de Chantal Historic District, Catholic education complex in Rock Island, Illinois
The Villa de Chantal Historic District encompassed three main structures featuring Gothic Revival architecture with octagonal towers and contrasting brick patterns on the exterior walls.
Established in 1901 by the Sisters of the Visitation from Maysville, Kentucky, the institution began as a small school before expanding to a 15-acre campus.
The educational program integrated general studies, college preparation, art instruction, music education, physical activities, and religious formation for female students until 1978.
The complex, formerly located at 2101 16th Avenue, now houses the Rock Island Center for Math and Science, part of the Rock Island-Milan School District.
The original structure contained a bell transported from Kentucky, positioned in the western octagonal tower's belfry alongside the crenelated eastern tower.
