St Francis Academy 1888 - 1970
St Francis Academy is the Stone Building. The final site of the St. Francis Academy was the large stone building between Main and First Street. That building was a three story structure with lunch facilities and rooms on the bottom floor, main offices, and classrooms on the main floor and living facilities and gathering room on the top floor.
The building served as a boarding school, day school, and music and art school for the community and as a center of the Catholic Community in conjunction with the Cathedral.
The Academy was discontinued in 1970. Changing times, increased demands on schools, costs, availability of instructors all figured in its demise. (Chalk Dust and Gold Dust)
