Saint Scholastica Convent

The Saint Scholastica Convent, now the Saint Scholastica Monastery, is a historic religious facility at 1301 South Albert Pike Avenue in Fort [Smith, Arkansas]. It is a large multi-winged brick and masonry complex with Late Gothic Revival architecture, five stories in height, set on a large landscaped property behind Trinity Junior High School. The building was designed by Oklahoma [City, Oklahoma|Oklahoma City] architect F. W. Redlich, and was built in 1923–24. It originally housed living quarters for the convent as well as a chapel and school; the school closed in 1969, and the academic space is now leased to the Trinity School.
The property was listed on the National [Register of Historic Places] in 2006.
As of June 1, 2022 the building is slated for demolition after the sisters made the decision to not move forward with any restoration efforts.
