In 1839, the [[Smithville Seminary]], a [[Freewill Baptist]] institution was founded in North Scituate and existed on and off as an educational institution until it finally closed in 1876. The [[Pentecostal Collegiate Institute (Rhode Island)|Pentecostal Collegiate Institute]] then moved to the former campus from [[Saratoga Springs, New York]] in 1902. When PCI became [[Eastern Nazarene College]] and left in 1919, William Holland purchased the property and moved his [[Watchman Industrial School and Camp]] there in 1923. It was allegedly burned several times by the local [[Ku Klux Klan]] in the 1920s and 1930s<ref>[http://www.projo.com/specials/century/month4/426nw1.htm The Rhode Island Century<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> and closed in 1938, although the [[summer camp]] operated until 1974. The [[Greek Revival]] buildings and campus are now the Scituate Commons, an apartment complex on Institute Lane.
