Scotia Seminary was founded in 1867 on Depot Street to educate young African American women. Its first building was a simple white siding structure, and later buildings included Graves Hall in 1876 and Faith Hall in 1891. In 1917, the institution's name changed to Scotia Women's College. Barber Memorial College of Anniston, Alabama later merged with Scotia Women's College, and in 1932 the college became Barber-Scotia College. Depot Street was renamed Cabarrus Avenue West in the 1960's.
