Harriet Morehead Berry built this bungalow in 1914. Miss Berry was known for her legislative work that brought North Carolina out-of-the-mud by creating a network of all-weather roads connecting every county seat and state institution. For this achievement she became known as the “Mother of Good Roads”. In 1919 Miss Berry passed on the home to her sister Mary Brown, university nurse, and husband, Kent Brown, a professor of German. When Mary Brown died in 1967 the home along with substantial stocks and bonds were willed to the University. The University later sold it to another professor of German, Petrus Tax. The Taxes raised five children in the house until 2004 when they sold it.Archived in July, 2007
