Founded by John Wesley Beeson in 1903 as The Meridian to which was added the Conservatory of Music in 1904. The school merged with Beeson's Meridian Male College in 1914, becoming known as the Meridian College and Conservatory. Highly regarded while Beeson led it, the school was sold in 1920, closed in 1929, and was torn down circa 1932.
