Abstract:
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.
