Abstract:
(Minnia) Inglis Fletcher , a native of Illinois, went to art school for sculpture and ended up being a leading novelist in North Carolina. She married a mining engineer and moved frequently across the country. She began her writing career when she lived in California. Years later, while on a hunt for her ancestors in Tyrrell County, NC, she became enamored with North Carolina history. Fletcher intended to write a twelve-volume Carolina Series of novels based on life in North Carolina from 1765 to 1782. She and her husband moved to North Carolina and purchased Bandon, a plantation manor house near Edenton, NC. Fletcher’s husband died in 1960 and Bandon burned in 1963, which drastically changed her life. The Carolina Series has been translated into seven languages.

Among ECU’s famous firsts was Fletcher Residence Hall, the first campus building to have elevators. The building, opening in 1964, was named for novelist Inglis Fletcher. It attained the nickname “skyscraper dorm” from being the tallest building in Northeastern North Carolina at that time. The seven story building remained the highest high-rise until its residential neighbor, ten story White Residence Hall, opened in 1968.
