The original buildings were constructed of wood and burned early in the 1900s, replaced by more spacious buildings of brick and stone. Under the direction of President G.A. Edwards, the college realized enormous growth. The doors opened the following fall with 163 students and 16 members of the faculty. A fire in 1974 destroyed parts of the campus and the school closed for good. Subsequently, part of the campus has been occupied by the Kittrell Job Corps.
