The Elm Cottage was one of many at the Lancaster Industrial School for Girls, located on Old Common Road. Established in 1854, the school was very progressive for the times and the first correctional institution to give the girls private rooms in a cottage system. The Bridecake Plaine area has been designated as a National Historic District since the 1970s. The facility is currently a coeducational, minimum-prerelease security prison.
