Sketch of The Octagon on Mount Saint Agnes College Campus
Mount Saint Agnes College was a Catholic women's college located in the Mount Washington neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland. It opened in 1890 and was operated by the Sisters of Mercy. In 1971, Mount Saint Agnes merged with nearby Loyola College in Maryland (today Loyola University Maryland), which still oversees the Mount Saint Agnes Alumnae Association. The college closed as its own degree-granting institution in 1972.
In 1853 the original land was bought by Elias Heiner and George Gelbach, Jr. to build Mount Washington Female College. Mount Washington Female College, affiliated with the Lutheran Church,[1] was chartered in 1856, but, the College closed during the Civil War and after the war the land was bought and sold numerous times. Eventually, the property was sold to Charles Dougherty, who purchased the land for the Sisters of Mercy in 1867. The Sisters bought it from Dougherty in 1870.[2]
As Dougherty had bought the land and later sold it to the Sisters of Mercy, "the Sisters changed the name to Mount Saint Agnes, the name of his wife."[2]

Over the next few decades, the former Mount Saint Agnes campus was owned and used by United States Fidelity & Guaranty Company and the St. Paul Companies. In 2003, it was purchased by the Johns Hopkins University and is now called the Mount Washington campus of the Johns Hopkins University.[3]
