George R. Smith College, located in Sedalia, Missouri, was attended by the famed and prolific American ragtime-music piano composer Scott Joplin famous for the song "Maple Leaf Rag."

According to the Encyclopedia of the History of Missouri by Howard Conrad, the building was completed in 1882. 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.[1][2][3][4]
