Schools
Education
Amherst (Mass.)
Description
This institution offered boys a classical education and was a well-known school throughout the Connecticut Valley and beyond in the 1830s. The school closed around 1836 and remained empty for awhile. The wings were removed to other areas of town. One became a tenement on North Pleasant Street known as the "Bee Hive." Other sections were removed to Northampton Road. John A. Nash opened a school in the remaining central part of the building in 1846 (Carpenter & Morehouse, page 271).
The illustrator, Liberato Cardella, was listed as instructor in Italian, music, and drawing at the Institute in May 1831. Cf. Groce and Wallace. The New-York Historical Society's dictionary of artists in America (New Haven, 1957), p. 108.

Pendleton's Lithography published many Massachusetts town plans starting with Lynn and Saugus in 1829 and continuing to 1836. The plans had been drawn at the request of the State Legislature to facilitate the making of an accurate map of the state, which was eventually published by Borden in 1844. The town plans are some of the earliest published using lithography. This map of Amherst is especially attractive, with a large view of the College and Mount Pleasant Institution. Notable property owners are shown, including Prof. Hitchcock and E. Dickinson (the father of Emily Dickinson). Shows also churches, schools, houses, factories, mills, hotels, woodland, alluvial land, ponds, etc. Relief shown by hachures. With black top and bottom rollers. Map is without color.
