Lucy Cobb Institute, Educational institution for women in Athens, United States.
The Lucy Cobb Institute features an octagonal red brick chapel and traditional architectural elements representing early Republic and Regency styles.
Thomas Reade Rootes Cobb established this women's academy in 1859, naming it after his daughter Lucy who passed away from scarlet fever.
The Institute provided advanced education in sciences, mathematics, rhetoric, languages, and literature, exceeding standard finishing school curricula of the 1800s.
The Carl Vinson Institute of Government at the University of Georgia now operates in this National Register of Historic Places building.
Student Nellie Stovall secured funding for the Seney-Stovall Chapel through a letter to philanthropist George Seney, who donated 10,000 dollars.
