Description	Black and white picture of the Y.W.C.A. Hut, constructed by students on the College'; s campus, circa 1925. The structure to the left was known as the "; Summer House."; The Y. W. C. A. Hut was built in 1918 at the end of College Avenue by the entrance to Peabody Park. A small group of students, known as the Carpenterettes, helped build the Hut because of the manpower shortage created by World War I. The Hut was built in a bungalow style with a large central hall and open fireplaces. It was used for a variety of social functions. The Y. W. C. A. secretary counseled students in her office in the Hut. The building was razed in the 1940s when North Drive was built. The Summer House, located just east of the Weil-Winfield Resident Halls, was a wooden structure built between 1902 and 1909. Allegedly built from logs salvaged from the original Guilford County Courthouse, it was razed in 1954 to add a road to the Anna M. Gove Infirmary.
