The Academy was built in 1790 as a private school for priviledge girls but was turned into a military hospital during the Civil War. In 1868, Marianne Wharton, the reigning supreme at the time, the most powerful witch of the generation and a prominent socialite back then, reclaimed the building and reinstated it as a school as a cover-up, but in reality turned it into a safe haven for young witches to learn and hone their powers. #ahscoven #neworleans #witchcraft #plantation
