Description
This
building
was
located
in
New
Orleans
between
Magazine
and
Soniat
Streets
. The
original
site
for
Southern
University
was in an
old
building
on
Calliope
Street
(No
.

in
New
Orleans
in
1881
. This
building
had
previously
housed
the
Hebrew
Girls
School
(formerly
the
Israel
Sinai
Temple
Synagogue)
.
Although
it
was
expanded
to
several
adjacent
buildings
, the
demands
placed
on the
facilities
were
too
great
for
existing
accommodations
. The
Board
composed
of
W.H
.
Chaffee
,
Chairman
,
P.B.S
.
Pinchback
,
T.T
.
Allain
,
S.M
.
Angell
,
F.L
.
Richardson
and
H
.
Heidenhair
were
appointed
as the
building
committee
in
June
,
1885
to "
take
into
consideration
the
advisability
of
selling
the
building
as
presently
occupied
and the
purchase
of a
more
eligible
site
and the
erection
there
upon
a
university
building
". The
committee
was to
purchase
the
vacant
square
of
ground
number
194
,
sixth
district
of the
city
bounded
by
Magazine
,
Constance
,
Soniat
and
Dufossat
Streets
,
belonging
to the
heirs
of the
late
B.J
.
West
.
After
operating
on this
site
[Calliope
Street]
for
six
years
, the
school
in
1887
was
moved
to a
building
on
Soniat
and
Magazine
Streets
. The
address
was
5112
Magazine
Street
,
between
Soniat
and
Dufossat
Streets
. The
occasion
for the
opening
of the
new
building
for the
University
on
Soniat
and
Magazine
Streets
was an
especially
festive
affair
. The
ceremony
surrounded
the
laying
of the
cornerstone
in
May
1886
witnessed
the
school
band
participating
under
the
leadership
of
Professor
T.O
.
Baquet
,
along
with the
famous
Excelsior
Brass
Band
, and
musical
selections
by the
student
Choir
.
