A Town Heritage Site
John Sprunt Hill bought this block of buildings in the 1920's and donated it in parcels to UNC from 1947-51 with the stipulation that rent monies fund the North Carolina Collection at the library of the University which is still in effect to this day. The Carolina Coffee Shop, the oldest original restaurant in town, was established in 1922.| HM Number | HM1MH0 |
