Alabama Christian College of Berry, Alabama, stood on this site from 1912-1922 as a coeducational school with Primary, Intermediate, Academic, Collegiate, Music Expression, and Art departments. It placed emphasis on teaching the Bible, with every student attending a daily Bible class. Advanced classes offered Latin, Greek, French, and Philosophy, along with English, History, and a complete business course. Members of the Church of Christ supported the school. Four presidents served during its existence: G.A. Dunn, J. Paul Hanlin, John T. Smithson, and Hal P. McDonald, while J. C. Shepherd of Berry was chairman of the Board of Trustees. Because of economic factors attributed to World War I, the school closed at the end of the 1922 session, and the property was sold to the local school board.
