. "Holding Institute was a United Methodist-affiliated former community center in Laredo, Texas, originally founded in 1882 as a kindergarten and primary school. For nearly a century thereafter, Holding was a state-accredited boys\u2019 and girls\u2019 boarding school. Having been ravaged by a flood in 1954, the boarding school relocated to north Laredo but closed some three decades later as a result of funding difficulties."@en . .
