Preparatory Seminary, Glen Riddle

A photograph of the Preparatory Seminary in Glen Riddle, PA. Originally the Ashton Ridge Female Academy and connected to the Presbyterian Church, the property was bought by Bishop John Neumann. From 1859 to 1871, the predecessor to the College Division was housed here, while the Theology Division was at Eighteenth and Race Streets in Philadelphia. The Sisters acquired the property when the Seminary was consolidated at Overbrook in 1871.
