Peabody College
Peabody College, founded in 1875 as the State Normal College, was originally affiliated with the University of Nashville, which traced its roots to Davidson Academy, founded in 1785. This plaque was displayed on the Gate Keeper’s Lodge, built in 1889 near the main entrance to the old “South Campus,” located on Market Street (today 2nd Avenue) and home to the University of Nashville, Montgomery Bell Academy, Peabody Normal School, and later, Vanderbilt University’s Medical and Dental Departments.
