Storer College:
Following the Civil War, the Reverend Dr. Nathan Cook Brackett established a Freewill Baptist primary school in the Lockwood House. With funding from John Storer of Sanford, Maine, "Storer Normal School" was opened and two years later the federal government conveyed the Lockwood House and three other former Armory residences to the school.
Storer was primarily a teacher's college and by 1938 was a full degree granting institution. The college closed in 1955. |
