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. They should preserve that house.

I vaguely remember a news article written about this house and they quoted the Heirs as saying that they will never sell to A&T

My understanding is that some units to be used by graduate/PhD students and young professors. Their efforts require extended amounts of time in labs. They are also married and have kids. This enhances our graduate/research enrollment as we progress to R1.

Hopefully by creating contained environments it will lead to higher graduation rates, more economic development in east GBO, and less occurrences with violence for our students.

Yes they have. That area is completely green on the map. The unacquired lots are slated for academic buildings.

🗣️ "I STILL WANT MY HOTEL AND CONFERENCE CENTER!" 😂 😭🤞🏿 We could pull it off if we had a Hospitality and Event Management major, but we don't. UNCG does within their School of Business.
