A group purchased the school's assets and reopened the school in September as Wheeling Female College.

The school served Protestant women, positioning itself as an alternative to nearby Catholic schools like Mount de Chantal Visitation Academy at a time when there was significant anti-Catholic sentiment locally. In January 1891, the College's president Rev. H.R. Blaisdell suddenly resigned, citing low pay and harsh local winters. The school closed permanently and was purchased by the , which opened the Wheeling City Hospital.
