The Ravenscroft School, a 19th-century Episcopal boarding school in
Asheville, North Carolina, from 1856 to 1901, had three distinct
phases. It was first a ""Classical and Theological School""
(1856-1864) and then, following the Civil War, a Theological
Training School and Associate Mission (1868-1900); in 1887 it split
into two departments, a Theological Training School/Associate
Mission and Ravenscroft High School for Boys (1887-1901). Although
the school itself was only in existence for about 45 years, the
purview of this book is from the early days of Asheville (1820s),
to the building of Joseph Osborne's mansion in the 1840s (which
would eventually house the school), through the years of the
school's operation, and then on up to the mid-20th century when the
campus buildings were sold and repurposed. The book concludes with
the efforts by historic preservationists to save the few remaining
buildings of the Ravenscroft School during the late 1970s.
