Description: Campbell-Hagerman College for Women was established in 1903 by Barton C. Hagerman (recently replaced as president of the nearby Hamilton College for Women) and his wife, Mary Anna "Mamie" Campbell Hagerman. It was located on Second Street at the north-western edge of the city center of Lexington, Kentucky. They built the administrative building on the left, and the dormitory on the right (called Argyle Hall). Classes were in the center building (the original house on the lot), and later this building became called The Arts Club. The parents of Mamie Hagerman - Mary Purvis and Alexander Campbell (Jr.) - lived with them and helped to maintain close ties to the Disciples of Christ (Christian Church) as they were descendants of the founders of that church. When Mamie Campbell unexpectedly died in 1912, the school was closed, and the dormitories sold as apartments. The Lexington Music School took over the center building. Image snipped from John T.
