        The Carolina Inn Opens in New Window
        201 Pittsboro St
        Chapel Hill, NC 27516

        Year Built: 1924

        Known as the University’s living room, the Carolina Inn sits on the original New Hope Chapel site, for which the town is named. UNC-Chapel Hill alumnus and philanthropist John Sprunt Hill, who graduated in 1889, opened the Carolina Inn in 1924 and gave it to the University in 1935, stipulating that profits support the library. Today, the Inn continues to support Wilson Library’s North Carolina Collection.

        Recognized as one of America's "cultural resources worthy of preservation," the Carolina Inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Since it opened, the Inn has been important to the life of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the community.
