6.	ST. AUGUSTINE?S SEMINARY, half block E. of Ulman St. on Second St., the only seminary in the United States for training Negroes to priesthood, was removed here from Greenville in 1923. It was established in 1920 by the Society of the Divine Word, for the purpose of training young Negroes either for the priesthood or for religious brotherhood among their own people. The complete clerical schedule of studies comprises fourteen years and includes all branches of high school, college, and seminary. Financial requirements for admission are few and the age limit is flexible. There is a well-landscaped campus of 32 acres with tennis, baseball, volley ball, croquet, and basketball courts. The major seminary, a two-story building of Spanish Colonial style, is placed apart from the other buildings.

7.	ELMWOOD MANOR (private), NW. cor. Broadman St. and N. Beach Blvd., a square, white brick house with a green tile roof and double-deck galleries, was built in the early 1800?s by Jesse Cowan. It is said that the War of 1812 caused Cowan to cease construction, which he did not resume for nearly 17 years. Bricks used were brought from Andalusia, Spain; sills were constructed of cypress logs. All work was done by slave labor. Set back among oak, magnolia, and cedar trees, the house is on a land grant made to the Cowan family by the Crown of Spain. Payments on the grant amounted to 10 percent of the annual cotton yield.
