The Bostick Female Academy, also known as Triune School, is a property in Triune, Tennessee that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
At one time Triune had five private schools, including a Porter Female Academy that was destroyed in 1863 in the American Civil War. On the board of the Porter Female Academy was a Dr. Jonathan Bostick, a planter who later bequeathed funds to establish a female academy in Tennessee. This was to replace the Porter Academy. Following delays due to litigation of Bostick's will, the Bostick Female Academy was built and opened in 1892.[1][2]
The school building was designed in a Late Victorian style of architecture. The listing was for an area of 2 acres (0.81 ha) with just one contributing building.[1]
The building is an L-shaped building built in c.1892.[3]
The building operated as a private school until about 1900, then as a public school until 1957. Since then it has been used as a private home.[2]
