After consolidating with Eureka College and closing, the remnants of Abingdon College were bought by a professor named Summers, who named the facility Abingdon College Normal, but this college quickly failed as well. After this, another college in Abingdon, Hedding College, which had been founded about 2 years after Abingdon College, bought the property in 1895 and used the buildings as their music and normal school campus.
