Thread Name: BS: Alma College Fire
Subject: BS: Alma College Fire
Here is a little history of the College and thought that maybe someone may know of it and their daughter or niece attended there. If you Google it you will find pictures of the fire. Looks like some 14 century castle ruin.

The History and Hauntings of Alma Ladies College
96 Moore Street, St. Thomas, Ontario
by Stephanie Lechniak-Cumerlato



Looming empty and quiet, but standing proud at the corner of Moore and McIntyre Streets in St. Thomas, Ontario is the old Alma College for Ladies. Initially chartered in 1877 as an independent girls' school, Alma College had a goal to "promote the spiritual and educational growth and development of young women from around the globe." Even to this day, the College has international alumni from London and Toronto and even as far as Australia, Hong Kong, British Columbia, Mexico, the Carribbean and Japan.
