Description
A panoramic view of the San Rafael hills, showing the location of the Hitchcock Military Academy (see directional arrow above the picture's caption). The Hitchcock School was originally named Selborne School and located on Grand Avenue between Elm and Belle Streets in San Rafael, California. In 1899, the Selborne School was destroyed by fire, and in 1907 the principles built a replacement school in the Dominican neighborhood of San Rafael and named it the Hitchcock Military Academy. The location seen here is from the school's 1912-1913 yearbook. The boys attending Hitchcock performed military drills every day of the week except Saturday and Sunday and participated in a dress parade and review each Friday. The school was later reformulated with the Mt. Tamalpais Military Academy and became the Tamalpais School. The school was sold again in 1955 to the Marist Society of California and named the St. Peter Chanel Seminary. Today the property is home to Marin Ballet School, the Marin Tennis Club, and Trinity Community Church.
