Miss Orton's Classical School for Girls
Miss Orton's Classical School for Girls was a private girls' school in Pasadena, California. The school, which was run by educator Anna Orton, opened in 1890. The school was designed to prepare girls for a higher education at a college in the Eastern United States, as most secondary schools in Pasadena at the time assumed their students would go to Stanford or Berkeley if they desired further education.
Why it's on the map
The first building at the school, which housed a single classroom, was constructed in 1892.
A gymnasium was built at a later point, and a dormitory was constructed in 1900.
