ST. FRANCIS DE SALES SCHOOL FOR GIRLS
Post emancipation Nuns built schools around the country, including this one, for Blacks & Indians. Students arrived from across the James River by ferry. There was also a boys school that was later bulldozed. The property was the former Belmead plantation of Phillip St George Cocke. His house stood nearby, designed by Alexander Jackson Davis.
