The academy that gave the neighbourhood its name is gone. Visitation Academy of St. Louis stood at the southeast corner of Cabanne Avenue and Belt Avenue from 1892 until 1962, and the ground it left became Visitation Park, which the city renamed Ivory Perry Park in 1989. The park kept the older name for the streets around it.

The convent set the pattern. Visitation Academy of St. Louis held the corner of Cabanne Avenue and Belt Avenue for seventy years, and the houses that went up around it filled the blocks between Maple Avenue and Delmar Boulevard. It was demolished after 1962.
