Lucy Cobb Institute

                                                                                 

 

The Lucy Cobb Institute, a school for girls, was founded in 1859 by Thomas R.R. Cobb.  It was named in honor of his daughter, Lucy, who died at the age of 14. It ceased operation in 1931. Today it is the home of the Carl Vinson Institute of Government, a part of the University of Georgia.
