In 1853 the original land was bought by Elias Heiner and George Gelbach, Jr. to build Mount Washington Female College.
It was constructed as part of Mount Washington Female College, and underwent several iterations of renovation and restoration as successive institutions owned the campus.
[4] The college's name lives on in the form of the Mount Saint Agnes Theological Center for Women, which operates from the former Provincial House on the campus.
Today the Mount Saint Agnes College Alumnae Association works closely with the Loyola Office of Alumni Relations in order to plan events and promote lectures.
[citation needed] The most noted alumna of Mount Saint Agnes is United States Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD).
[2] Mathematician Harry Bateman was a Mount Saint Agnes faculty member while he was at Johns Hopkins University.
