Note
In 1891, Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary opened a larger building to accommodate up to 200 students and 11 teachers. The school existed there until 1925 when it was abandoned for a site on Bayshore Boulevard, now known as the Academy of the Holy Names. The site was also City Markets for a time before being demolished in 1991. Today the site is a parking lot.
