Abstract:
The Single Sisters House at Salem College in Winston-Salem is the oldest building on a North Carolina college campus. The year on the date stone of the original house is 1786. A 19th-century addition enclosed it, although it is still visible in the attic of the addition. In the early days, the house served as quarters for students and teachers, who lived, studied, worshipped, and worked together. The house is being reclaimed and rededicated by Salem Academy and College as a national landmark of women's education.
