Description	Elizabeth College and Conservatory of Music for Women in Charlotte, NC is the subject of this early twentieth-century postcard. The main focus of the picture is on the building used for classes and administration. A Lutheran women's school, it operated in Charlotte from 1896 to 1915 when it relocated to Salem, Virginia. On the right is a view of the Gerard Conservatory of Music. People from all over the Charlotte area came to musical events and plays at the college conservatory where the women trained in art, voice, piano, violin and other performing arts. The school was located at Elizabeth Avenue and Hawthorne. Presbyterian Hospital acquired the property at the intersection of Elizabeth Avenue and Hawthorne Lane and used the original buildings for a while.
