The Church, formerly Daddy Grace's, that bought the old post office property on Market St. has started construction of shops and residence on that prime piece of land.

That would be awesome, especially seeing that we also own the apartment complexes behind the parcel as well. A flyover would connect this area to the rest of the campus without our students having to cross a busy E. Market street.

Can you imagine the signage and messaging space a flyover would give us on Market St? Anyone driving down Market St would know they’re in “Aggie Land” without a doubt!

Eventually, A&T will be down on E. Lindsay Street. That's the goal. Your question should be, why is the big white house on the corner of Dudley and Bluford still standing? Must be an heir holding out. You think???

Your question should be, why is the big white house on the corner of Dudley and Bluford still standing? Must be an heir holding out. You think??? preservationgreensboro.org/the-secrets-of-bluford-street/The oldest home on the street is likely Nelson Station, the home of Walter N. Nelson at 903 Bluford Street (image, right). The Queen Anne-style house was built around 1903 and features turned porch posts with sawn brackets, a cut-away bay window with corner brackets, and decorative sawn shingles in the gables. Nelson and his wife Agnes were natives of Georgia, where Walter earned a degree from Georgia State University before studying at the University of Chicago and Columbia University. He began work at A&T in 1903 where he taught carpentry in the school’s Mechanical Department. In 1918, Nelson left his position at A&T served in the U. S. Army in Europe during World War I. By the 1930s, the Nelsons returned to their Greensboro home where they lived the remainder of their lives. Walter was hired by the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, where he worked until he passed away in 1966. Agnes died ten years later. In 2006, Nelson Station was recognized as a Guilford County Landmark property for its intact Queen Anne architecture and its strong historical ties with A&T.

A few years ago, someone attempted to do repairs/renovations, but did not improve the condition or appearance of the house. Years ago in the 50s and 60s, most of the houses on Bluford had that vintage historical appearance and served as homes for instructors and administrators. It was an attractive neighborhood. Hopefully, the university can acquire it, if they have not done so, and do a complete restoration of the home.
