This video is part of J. Earl Danieley’s history walking tour of Elon University which is commonly referred to as the “3 W lecture” (Where, What, and Was) tour that occurs each fall during his Elon 101 class. This specific walking tour J. Earl Danieley discusses the pre-1900 homes that were once located on the site of the current McMichael Science building, Academic Village landscape of Elon University, and the historic neighborhood. During the walking tour with Dr. Danieley, he discusses many houses and campus buildings. Below is a detailed outline of the houses and campus spaces discussed in this tour. There were three homes that used to be located where the current McMichael Science Building is located: J. Earl Danieley’s home, Rudolf Zarzar’s (former Professor of Political Science) and farther east on Haggard Avenue Ned. F. Brannock’s home. Across Haggard Avenue on the Academic Village property were three blocks of houses. Several roads intersected with these blocks of houses which included O’Kelly Avenue, East College Avenue, Antioch Avenue, and Lebanon Avenue. The first block of homes on Haggard Avenue included Thomas E. Powell, Jr.’s and George D. Colclough’s homes. On East College Avenue were another set of three homes that included: Samuel Adams’, the Southern Conference of the Christian Churches home for visitors, and William Allen Harper’s (4th President of Elon College) home. Across the street on East College Avenue stood Leo D. Martin’s house (which is now the Truitt Center), Lowe’s family home (former Mayor of Elon College, N.C.), and Alonzo L. Hook’s home (Hook graduated from Elon’s class in 1913 and served on Elon’s faculty for 70 years). The first home on the corner of O’Kelly and Lebanon Avenues was William S. Long’s home (1st President of Elon College), traveling east on Lebanon Avenue was W.T. Herndon’s home, and George S. Watson’s home (former Elon Board of Trustee member). East on Lebanon Avenue, there were two homes: M.L. Hurley’s and William Wesley Staley’s (2nd President of Elon College). Ed Walker who was the baseball, football, and basketball coach for Elon College lived in the only stone house in the vicinity. In 1963, a home was built for J. Earl Danieley and his family on the corner of Haggard and O’Kelly Avenues later named the Holland House in memory of Shirley T. Holland of Windsor, Virginia. As of 2007, where houses once stood, is now the Academic Village containing several buildings: William Henry Belk Pavilion, Luvene and Royall H. Spence, Jr. Pavilion, William R. Kenan, Jr. Honors Pavilion, Martha S. and Carl H. Lindner, III Hall, Isabella Cannon Pavilion, Ella Darden and Elmon Lee Gray Pavilion, and the Numen Lumen Pavilion. In Danieley’s presidency, he had separate dormitories built in one building, (John Willis) Barney, (Ned F.) Brannock, and (A.L.) Hook known as the Hook Brannock Barney Residence Hall. Danieley continues to talk about the Reverend James O’Kelly monument located in between Alamance and Long buildings and how it was an Egyptian-style memorial composed of Winnsboro granite with a small stone urn in the center of the monument. Students would steal the urn as a prank and return the urn at a later date. Until one time the urn did not get returned to the monument. The urn was later found broken in pieces and was later replaced by a metal cross. Danieley talks about planting an oak tree near the original site of the Holland House which is still on site as of 2013. Moving westward toward Alamance, on the north side of the Alamance building was a parking lot and a driveway where the Fonville Fountain is currently located in Scott Plaza. Also the power plant and coal plant were located on Haggard Avenue off to the side of the Alamance Building. North Dormitory was built in 1912 and was parallel with Haggard Avenue and stood near where the current Powell Building is located. The bottom floor included dressing rooms and bathrooms. The next floor up was the gymnasium where the men’s intramural basketball team played until Elon built the Alumni Gym in 1948-1949. The next two floors up were men’s dorm rooms. There was a ledge around the men’s dormitory floor where you could look down and see the gymnasium. Danieley discusses the location of Virginia and Sloan Dormitories. Sloan dorm is named after Mr. and Mrs. William W. Sloan. Mr. Sloan served on the Elon faculty teaching religious studies for many years. Standing near West Dormitory is Sloan and the (James) McEwen Dining Hall. Danieley states that tennis courts were once located south of McEwen Dining Hall. Danieley claims, the students believed that C.D. Johnson’s family had better tennis courts than Elon College. The Elon College tennis team played at the Johnson’s family tennis courts. The Johnson family tennis courts were across the railroad tracks behind the Elon Post Office. Thomas C. Amick’s (former professor of math) house once stood where the Kangaroo gas station is located in the year of 2013. An Esso Gas Station was located on the corner adjacent to the Alumni Gym property. Behind the Moseley Center building there were three (unnamed) houses. A new power house was built. The old one was destroyed. There was a barn behind the Rich House (as of 2013, the current Martin Alumni Center). Some notable names in this video include: J. Earl Danieley, Ned F. Brannock, Rudolf Zarzar, Thomas E.
