Photograph showing the exterior of St. Agatha's Conservatory. The first location (1884-1886) of St. Agatha's Conservatory of Art and Music was in the Lick house, on 10th and Main streets. (It had belonged to Dr. William Lick, an eye doctor charged with the murder of his wife.) Classes of music and needlework were offered here. The house also served as a residence for about 20 Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet teaching in downtown Catholic grade schools.
