The Institute included a large meeting hall and a smaller wooden framed building. It had a four-year curriculum. The Institute was located on the site of the existing First Presbyterian Church on North College Drive.[1]
In 1908, the board gave the Institute buildings and its property to the Denham Springs public school system. Shortly thereafter, a two-story brick building was erected on the same site. This was the beginning of Denham Springs High School.[1]
