THE STORY

Narrated · Plays hands-free in Travel Mode
Historic Bain Academy was established by John Bain on Philadelphia Presbyterian Church land in 1889 and was redesigned in 1924 by AIA architect Louis Asbury to include a 300-seat auditorium. Tina Ross, chair of Historic Bain Restoration, led efforts to save the building, but it was demolished in 2020 after a bond referendum failed. The legacy of John Bain, who is buried in the adjoining cemetery, lives on through the academy's alumni.
