Overal rating 4.5
A lovely oaken walled location on the main quad and right between Morehead Planetarium and Franklin St. The large lobby is filled with comfy couches and big chairs, and several old wooden desks. The walls are all old polished oak and there are candelabras lighting the space. The floor is an old patterend wood floor, and the ceilings are high and have recessed white panels. The space is mostly illuminated with large arched windows with old wavy glass, and you can look out on Morehead Planatarium and the Chapel just beyond it.
Here’s some info on Graham Memorial, built in 1931, “the building originally functioned as a student union. In consideration of the student union as the center of student life on campus, the building committee selected the site of the burned University Inn on McCorkle Place. The completed student union included the Horace Williams Library, a barber shop, a bowling alley, and game room, as well as offices for student publications.” In 1968 this became the Dramatic Arts Department, and then in 1992 became the Johnson Center for Undergraduate Excellence.
