Piece of History.Person Hall has been a fixture on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for more than 220 years. It was named for Thomas Person, the namesake of our county. This picture was from 1892. Today, Person Hall is composed of two recital rooms connected by a corridor (1892 addition) of offices. The original wing (east) retains its Colonial-styled wood trim and molding. The windows in the 1892 addition have been bricked in, an alteration that may have occurred during the 1936 remodel.
