Louise Felix - Buildings Constructed by John Wesley Campbell (clip)

Louise Felix: My grandfather built the Hargraves Center and in 1924 he built Northside School and in Carrboro on Graham Street, he built those two rock houses over there. His son lived in one, he and his son, they did all the rock work themselves. So, we lived on Graham Street, 215. We lived on Graham Street 215. We lived down, his son was George Campbell, he lived there. In the first house and then on the other end, Reverend Jones lived across the street from 215, my granddaddy built that one. Then we go out in Carrboro okay. Out in Carrboro, when they built all the rock houses that Hudson built in, the house that the Thompsons lived in. Over in Northside, how they got the land, my uncles and such put the money together and they were saying the only thing they ever wanted to be over there was a school. And they rented it out to 2 or 3 other people but they tried them back but they wouldn’t let them back because on the paper that they wanted to keep it like that so we could have a school to go to. Because when they first had the school over there it was just dirt roads, we had to come from Graham Street all the way down the road and walk across a little creek and go to the school because everyone in Chapel Hill went to school over there. And they really built up this town and they even did work on campus; they did a lot of rock work on campus.
