It was seminary in the sense of a Victoria society ladies' finishing school/college rather than a religious order.
The young ladies needed the covered walkways to protect them from the elements, housing for their personal maids and horse grooms, a ballroom to learn proper dancing, a demo house in which to learn proper management of one's household staff, etc.. Must be nice.
