Virginia Intermont College was founded in the late 1800s as an institute for women to get a higher education.

It was shuttered in May 2014 due to financial failure and the loss of accreditation.

Video of the fire shows the main building on campus burning, as well as adjacent structures.

A city councilman in Bristol , Virginia , called the blaze "a tragedy for our city".
