Additional Description: This structure on South Main Street was initially built for the Johnson Female academy in 1853. At the end of the Civil War it was used to store part of the Confederate Treasury and then became headquarters for Union troops garrisoned in Anderson during the Reconstruction era. Next it became W.J. Ligon's Carolina Collegiate Institute for boys in 1866. In 1889 Col. John B. Patrick moved his Patrick Military Academy from Greenville to this Anderson campus. After the academy closed the building was razed.
