History

St. Vincent's Academy was opened in June 1845 by the Sisters of Mercy as the Convent and Academy of Saint Vincent dePaul. Under the leadership of Mother Vincent Mahoney, the Sisters of Mercy from Charleston, South Carolina began the boarding school, an orphanage, a day school and a free school. The St. Vincent's Convent became an independent Motherhouse within two years. More than 20 schools, hospitals, and orphanages were founded throughout Georgia from the Motherhouse. A few early foundations that continue in service include: St. Mary's Home, Savannah (1875), and St. Joseph's Hospital (1880). [cite web|url=|title=|work=The Historical Marker Database]

Architect Charles B. Cluskey designed the Convent and Academy building in the Greek Revival style.
