Per the Encyclopedia of the History of Missouri by Howard Conrad, the building was completed in 1882. Per the Wikipedia entry for Sedalia as of Jan 30, 2010, the college operated from 1894 until it burned down April 26, 1925, after which its assets were merged (in 1933) with the Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Arkansas, per [1]
