The
Investigation:
The DeKoven Center is an Episcopal retreat
and conference center located on a 20-acre wooded campus on the
shores of Lake Michigan. It is used for meetings and
seminars.
Founded and chartered in 1852, the DeKoven
Center began as Racine College. Its first building was
built that same year. At different times in the past its
buildings served as an Episcopal seminary, a boys' prep school,
a college, and a home for Anglican nuns. It was never an
orphanage.
James DeKoven was the headmaster of the
school for many years, but he never took his life. He died
of apoplexy at the college on March 22, 1879.
