0466h Old Christiansburg Scenes Montgomery Female Academy (negative)=BU=SL=PS

This c. 1880 photograph depicts the Montgomery Female Academy built on College Street in Christiansburg in 1860. The Academy opened in 1852 and was a well-respected institute of learning for girls and young women. Oceana Pollock was school principal from 1876 until 1890. The man in the foreground of the photograph may be John Newton Jordon, the school groundskeeper. Mrs. Pollock’s nieces, who became known as the Sisters in Black, did not arrive at the school until 1903. (This image from the D. D. Lester Collection and many more are available from the Montgomery Museum of Art & History.)
