In the 1870's
St. Thomas found itself tripling in population due to the
railway. This unprecedented growth sparked a flurry of activity
including the construction of a progressive education facility
for young women of the world.
Alma
College brought people to St. Thomas from all around
the world. The magnificent structure still stands as a testament
to that past, and a dedicated group of Alumnae are fighting to
preserve the building for future generations. |
