Description

New construction takes place on the front entrance of the Monticello Seminary one year after a fire destroyed the school's original buildings on November 4, 1888. While a temporary building was promptly erected to house the students, the new construction was not completed until June 10, 1890.

An article detailing the first anniversary of the fire at the school is attached to the verso of the image.
