Address: 
308 N. Main Street

Description: 

The Old Quad boasts four of the campus' oldest buildings, including Oak Row and Elm Row--the original dormitories of Davidson--and Eumenean ("Eu") and Philanthropic ("Phi") Halls. 

Elm Row was built in 1836 as a dormitory for 16 students.  It later served as the infirmary, a fraternity and home of the Music Department.  It was moved to its current location in 1960 and along with its counterpart Oak was placed on the National Historic Register in 1977.
