Arcadia College, located in Arcadia, Missouri, United States, was founded by Rev. J.C. Berryman in 1843. The institution was associated with the Methodist Episcopal Church. Berryman then sold the institution in 1858 and it closed in 1861. The buildings were used as hospital for Union soldiers before reverting to Berryman in 1863. He returned for a few years and tried to restart the institution. The college then went through several owners and a four-story brick building was erected in 1870. Arcadia College closed in 1877. The building was acquired by Order of the Ursulines for Ursuline Academy/College. The school closed in 1971. [2] The Lewis Lecture Series at Texas A&M is named for a former chair of A&M's English Department who served as president of Arcadia from 1870 to 1873. [3] The Nostalgic Place Bed & Breakfast operates on the former campus [4]

The Marine Villa Neighborhood Historic District is a residential historic district in the Marine Villa neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri, United States. The district encompasses ten blocks and includes 356 buildings and sites, 187 of which are considered contributing resources to the district's historic character. Construction in the area began in 1870, but poor infrastructure and street access limited settlement. A streetcar line opened on South Broadway in 1890, leading the district to develop into one of St. Louis' many streetcar suburbs of the era. Most of the neighborhood's early residents were working-class and middle-class German immigrants and their families. The district's buildings are mainly one- and two-story brick buildings, and as the majority were built by individual property owners, they feature a wide variety of styles and shapes; the architectural styles used in the district include Spanish Colonial Revival, Romanesque Revival, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Italianate, and Second Empire.
