The Morley College, Conservatory of Music and School of Art, affiliated with the London (England) College of Music, was located at 22 Hanes Street, Huntsville Ont. (Photo: ca 1896-1899)

In 1896, Elizabeth W. Morley, who came from Saint John, New Brunswick, bought land on Hanes Street to build a school. The sign above the parapet read Morley Ladies College, Conservatory of Music. In April 1899, the building burned to the ground and was never rebuilt.
The property would later serve as the Fleming Scott Gilchrist house. Today, 22 Hanes Street is on Huntsville’s register of heritage properties of interest.
