Description
The history of Hollins University actually begins in New York with Joshua Bradley, a Baptist minister. Bradley purchased the property of the defunct Roanoke Female Seminary in 1842 for the purpose of forming an education union to “conduct an institution for all denominations.” This card shows how Hollins looked a century after Bradley’s purchase.
