Julia Johnston House
Dates: Built circa 1883. Acquired by College in 1961. Student Housing, 1977-1987. Building remodeled for administrative offices in 1992.
Quote: As a second grade teacher, she [Julia Johnston] was greatly beloved by all of the children. However, I hated going to her home on Saturday morning to recite the shorter catechism. Remember Davidson was a very Calvinistic Presbyterian community in the 1920s. Children were required to learn the answer to questions like: 'WHAT IS SIN?' Dyer, Goudyloch Erwin. "Growing Up In Davidson" Speech. 30 April 1992. DC0142s. Dyer, Goudyloch Erwin Papers. Davidson College Archives.
Named for: Miss Julia Johnston, second grade teacher.
