Since we hadn't heard from our refrigerator man, we decided to take a visit to the University of North Carolina's campus. The University of North Carolina is the oldest state university.
Old East Hall was the oldest state university building in the nation cornerstone laid in 1793.
Building still in use today.
Graham Memorial Hall, the building was completed in 1931.
Can you believe a Water Fountain?
The Library
Bynum Hall was built in 1904 as a gymnasium with swimming pool, indoor track and showers. In 1939, it was remodeled for offices, after construction of Woollen Gymnasium made it obsolete.

The Morehead-Patterson Bell Tower rises 172 feet. It is surrounded by a hedge and lawn designed by William C. Coker, botany professor and creator of the campus Arboretum, which we visited earlier in our stay.
In the early years Playmaker Theater was a library, Smith Hall built in 1892.
Walking around campus, we walked over our daily mile, next stop lunch. Largely unchanged since it opened in 1923, Sutton's operates one of the last remaining traditional soda fountains in North Carolina.
Photos on the walls feature patrons from over the last three decades.
While we were in Chapel Hill, we gave a call from Dave, our refrigerator repairman. Our new control board was in and he was on his way to our motor home to put it in today. Yea.
P.S. Later in the afternoon, the control panel on the refrigerator was switching gas to electric and electric to gas. No problem. We would now say goodbye to the Chapel Hill, Durham, Hillsborough area. We have grown to love you, but after 3 weeks we are ready to go to Washington, NC, the Inner Banks.
