Description	A black-and-white postcard image looking down College Avenue on the campus of the Normal College in Greensboro, NC. The buildings pictured are (front to back) Guilford Dormitory, the Infirmary, Students Building, and Spencer Dormitory. The inscription on the postcard reads, "; College Avenue, Greensboro, N.C."; College Avenue was designed in the early 1900s by landscape architect Warren Henry Manning to be the central artery of the campus. It was converted to a pedestrian mall in 2004. This twenty-two room dormitory was built in 1892 and was originally called Wooden Dormitory. It was then nicknamed “Midway” after the Chicago Exposition of 1893 and later called Guilford Dormitory. The dormitory was razed in 1935 to make room for the Alumni House. The infirmary building, the first separate structure to house the School infirmary, was built in 1895. It was located next to the Wooden/Midway/Guilford Dormitory on College Avenue and was used as an infirmary until 1912 when a larger infirmary was built on campus. After 1912, this building was used for music studios, practice rooms and offices and was called “Little Guilford.” Little Guilford was razed in 1947.
