Notes: This college building, associated with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, was constructed to replace an 1834 structure that burned down in 1885. It continued to be used as the college building for a short time, but the school closed soon after, and was utilized as a religious meeting place. From 1919 to 1956, the building served as a public school. In recent years the building has undergone a restoration, so it remains in good condition. Each September, the building hosts the Canehill Harvest Festival.
