Built by the Holston Association of Baptist Churches in 1854, this building housed the Holston Baptist Female Institute, Tadlock's School for Boys (ca. 1866-67), operated by Confederate Colonel Robert Dungan. In 1876, Yardley Warner of the Society of Friends purchased the building and established Warner Institute, to educate colored persons and train colored teachers. Julia B.Nelson and others from the American Missionary Association operated the school for the Friends. The school remained open until 1910, when the public school system began.
