Ohio Female College

The Ohio Female College was founded in 1852 in College Hill, Cincinnati by Reverend John Covert and operated until 1873.^[1]^[2]

The site was used to build the Cincinnati Sanitarium, the first private US psychiatric facility not on the East Coast.^[3] The sanitarium was renamed Emerson A. North Hospital in 1956. When the hospital closed in 1994, the site was used by Phoenix International, a company that conducted clinical trials of drugs for the pharmaceutical industry. After Phoenix left in 2000, Cincinnati Children's Hospital College Hill Campus was established on the site.^[4]^[5]
