It is two stories high; it has a wide ve- randa. It is located in a beautiful park of 80 acres, full of fine trees; it has numerous out-buildings. It is chiefly the generous gift of Deacon Benedict,of Rhode Island, and his noble wife, for the Chris- tian education of colored ministers.(NOTE: Today known as Benedict College and although still a historically black college has vastly moved from its original intention and is now a secular liberal arts college.)From the Baptist Encyclopedia by William Cathcart
