Providence Academy was built by Mother Joseph of the Sacred Heart in 1873 and served as a school, orphanage, and governance offices for the Sisters of Providence. Mother Joseph, along with four other Montreal nuns, traveled to Vancouver to serve the social and religious needs of locals. She raised money for the construction of the House of Providence and 32 other charitable institutions by leading begging tours of local mining camps.

Providence Academy has four stories and is constructed in brick in a neo-Georgian style. It operated as a school until 1966.

Explore history anytime, anywhere with the free Providence Academy Journey app created in partnership with Washington State University at Vancouver.
