Townley Hotel

East 10th Street

After the fire in 1890, when the businesses of the Old Town (East Weiser) was moved a mile west to “New Town” in 1895, the Academy was transferred to the Townley Hotel on East 10th Street. Miss Lee as lady principal, had her office just off the old hotel parlour. Upstairs, there were many rooms for all the girls who wanted to come and board, the boys boarded in different homes in town,

Downstairs were the classrooms, kitchen and dining rooms and a room for the janitor. One of the early janitors was Albert Reavis of Middle Valley.

Girl students took care of the boarding house, doing the cleaning as well as cooking and serving the meals. There were also some girls whose mothers had trained them to cook at home who did the cooking and other girls the serving.
