Description	Postcard with a view of Presbyterian College for Women located in Charlotte, NC at North College and Ninth Streets. [Published by S. H. Kress & Co. - 12084; Curt Teich; color; divided back; very good] From 1857 to 1891, the building shown was occupied by the Charlotte Female Institute. In 1891, the school closed and was replaced by the Charlotte Seminary for Girls and relocated to 510 North Tryon Street. In 1896, the Seminary changed names to the Presbyterian College for Women and moved back to the campus shown on the card. In 1912, the name changed again and it became Queens College, moving to Selwyn Avenue in Myers Park in 1912. The building at College and Ninth became College Apartments and operated as such for many years. The Neoclassical building had three-story sections and a dome centered over a Corinthian portico. It had a large entry rotunda, a formal parlor, dormitories, dining room that seated 250 people, a gym and 1000-seat auditorium. The Apartments allowed the auditorium to be used by the Little Theater up into the 1930s. The building was demolished in 1948.
