The Susquehanna Female College opened on September 22, 1859. It was once the private residence of Leonard App, brother to John App (who donated the land for the Missionary Institute). The Female College closed on December 20, 1872 for financial reasons. The Missionary Institute began to enroll women after the close of the Female College. The building still stands and is now an apartment building on Market Street in Selinsgrove.
