Building History

In 1891, W.C. Ramsey operated the Stockton Business College and Normal School in Downtown Stockton, CA. According to an 1891 advertisement, it provided a "full business course, through actual business, shorthand and typewriting, preparatory, special and teacher's course. The school occupies two entire buildings and its leading feature is its home influence. Excellent board $10 per month. Board, room and tuition by the year, $18.75 per month. Twelve regular teachers and over 600 students for the year. Good gymnasium." (See Langley's San Francisco directory for the year commencing 1891, Educational Department, p. 33.)
