The Ethel Walker School, Simsbury, established in 1911 at Lakewood, N.J.,
outgrew its quarters and with the cooperation of the alumnae and friends of the
school moved to Simsbury in 1917, where it occupies the six hundred acre Stuart
Dodge estate, two miles from the village. Miss Walker, A.B., Bryn Mawr, '94,
A.M., '04, after ten years' successful administration, married, and the
management of the school was taken over by her sister, Mrs. Charles M. Andrews,
A.B., Bryn Mawr, long associated with the school and for two years its academic
as well as its business head. Mrs. Mary Atwell Moore, A.B. Mt. Holyoke,
Yale, is associate principal. The five year course of study preparatory to
college provides rather a broader course than is actually required. Half the
girls are fifteen years of age and the range is from thirteen to eighteen. A
system of self-government, an unusual degree of cooperation with the home and
thorough investigation of each girl before admission contribute to the success
of the school. Much is made of outdoor life and riding is an especial feature.

Ingleside History
1945
After the Ingleside Inn closed the property was put up for sale. In the summer of 1945 Miss Justine Ames Browne and Mrs. Mary Atwell Moore purchased the Ingleside Inn. They planned to move their Brownmoor School for girls from Santa Fe, New Mexico to the Phoenix area. Moore and Browne added an auditorium, classroom buildings, a swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, a large playing field, two recreation buildings, and junior & senior residence houses to the property. Early in the first school year however, Miss Browne died. Mrs. Moore continued to operate the school until 1950, when it was sold to a group of investors and then resold to Mr. and Mrs. H.E. Graybeal.
