School Virgil's Beauty College, a school of cosmetology, was founded many years ago and has been in continuous operation since its opening. It was previously known as Irene's Beauty College. Virgil D. Large, the present owner and director, purchased the school from Mrs. Irene Bolt when it was located at 424 West Okmulgee in downtown Muskogee. On November 2, 1971, the school opened its doors for the first day of operation at the new and present location at 111 South 9th Street in Muskogee, Oklahoma. The building was designed by Mr. Large specifically for the training of Cosmetologists and Manicurists.
