Hallowell Public Black School for Girls
George L. Seaton built another School in the City of Alexandria for black girls. The Freedmen Bureau funded the Hallowell School in 1867. The basic design of the school was similar to the Snowden School. The school was located on North Alfred Street, between Princess and Oronoco Streets.
Prior to Sarah A. Gray becoming the principal of Hallowell School, Mrs. Matilda A. Madden was the principal and her assistant teachers were Mrs. Jane A. Crouch and Miss Harriett Douglas.
Hallowell was sometime called “Lee School, just like Snowden School was known by another name. It is unknown why Hallowell was referred to as the Lee School. When the City of Alexandria took over the Black Girls School, the School was named Hallowell after a white educator in Alexandria.

Every school year, the State of Virginia required all counties to provide a school census of their teachers. The 1893 School year for the City of Alexandria School listed the following teachers for Hallowell School:
