Our Lady of Victory Academy, Gothic Revival school building in Fort Worth, US

Our Lady of Victory Academy is a five-story building at 801 Shaw Street, designed by the Fort Worth firm Sanguinet and Staats and built at a cost of $200,000. It opened on September 12, 1910, to 31 boarders and 41 day pupils. The original academy building was renovated in 2004 as the Victory Arts Center, with residential and artist studio space, and remains an apartment complex.

The building was constructed in 1910 and served for many years as an educational institution rooted in religious teaching. By 2004, its use as a school ended and it was transformed into residential spaces with artist studios.

The school opened on September 12, 1910, with 31 boarders and 41 day pupils, and its curriculum covered elocution, grammar, business, art and music. The Sisters of Saint Mary of Namur ran it until February 23, 2021, when they ended education there without consulting the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth.

The building stands at 801 Shaw Street; the former academy was renovated in 2004 as the Victory Arts Center and now serves as a residential apartment complex, so the interior is not open to visitors. The 1910 five-story facade by Sanguinet and Staats can be viewed from the street. The separate former junior college building on the grounds is the one that later housed the school.

The 1909 building cost $200,000 and opened on September 12, 1910, with 31 boarders and 41 day pupils. Its 2004 renovation turned the former classrooms into a residential and artist-studio complex called the Victory Arts Center.
