As we've stated before, the city of Greensboro is home to many institutions of higher education (IHE). Between The University of North Carolina Greensboro, Guilford College, Bennett College, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, and Greensboro College, we could take a daily photo from an IHE and not run out of subjects for years!
The Julius I. Foust Building, pictured above, is one of two original buildings on the University of North Carolina Greensboro campus. It was completed in 1892 and has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places since 1980. Dr. Foust was the second president of the school, then named The North Carolina State Normal and Industrial College.
A "Timeline of UNCG History" on the UNCG website contains a photo of a plaque on the Foust Building flanked by wreaths made from magnolia leaves-- very southern!
If you know any of the history of the Foust Building or have any anecdotes to share from "the good old days," here is your chance to post a comment. Please share our URL with your UNCG friends, so they can tell the world about this landmark building on Spring Garden Street.
Another great looking building. This shows the character of Greensboro, that we don't know about. Since, well, we don't live there. Keep those coming.
