A couple of blocks from the city center, this historical marker is in a parking lot and points out something that used to be here but is now gone. The marker reads, "Organized in 1881, this Negro Presbyterian (USA) school was founded by the Rev. J. P. Crawford with support from Mrs. C. E. Coulter from whom it received its name. The Rev. G. W. Long was academy president from 1908 until 1943, and Coulter offered junior college credit, 1933-1947. The academy merged with the public school system, 1949." The marker was erected in 1991 by the Coulter Memorial Academy National Alumni Association, Inc. Today, the brick building behind the church is the home of the Freemason's Sanctorum Lodge Number 25.
