Loretto Academy, Catholic girls school in Woodlawn, Chicago, US.

The Loretto Academy building features traditional educational architecture with a substantial main entrance and multiple classroom wings spread across its campus.

Founded by the Loreto Sisters in August 1906, the institution operated as a Catholic girls school until its closure in 1972.

The Academy marked social progress in 1949 by admitting African-American students, reflecting the changing demographics of Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood.

The former school building, located at the intersection of East 65th Street and Blackstone Avenue, later served as a substance abuse treatment center.

In 2019, Preservation Chicago included the building in their annual list of endangered structures due to its deteriorating condition.
