One block east on Bay Street was opened as a boys' classicial school on April 12, 1785. Here President George Washington attended examinations in 1791. The buildings housed the General Assembly of Georgia when Augusta was the capital, the Federal District and Circuit Courts, the county Superior and Inferior courts and the Masonic Lodge Columbia.
In 1798 the school was closed because of a lack of money and the delapidation of the buildings. It was reopened in 1802 on Telfair Street. Thence, it was removed to Baker Avenue in 1926.
