Description	Two people seated in a wagon pulled by an ox on Spring Garden Street with a dog following along in 1897. Spring Garden Street is a main east/west artery running through the heart of the campus. The section of Spring Garden Street between Aycock Street and Tate Street was extensively improved in 1998 to create a landscaped boulevard. The Main Building and the Brick Dormitory with porches added can be seen in the background. The photograph was taken by Dr. Anna Gove. The Foust building, designed by Epps & Hackett of Greensboro, North Carolina, was opened in 1892 and wings were added in 1895. From 1892 to 1908, the building was called Main Building and from 1908 to 1960 it was called Administration Building. In 1960, the building was named in honor of Julius Isaac Foust, president of college from 1906 to 1934. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Brick Dormitory, designed by Epps & Hackett of Greensboro, North Carolina, opened in 1892 and was one of the original buildings and primary dormitory. It was expanded in 1895 and included a kitchen, an infirmary room, and a dining hall. The dormitory was destroyed by fire on January 20, 1904, with all of the residents escaping unharmed.
