Old Chapel Hill Slowly Varnishes
Bv JOE SANDERS
cf The Daily Tar Heel Staff
Next time you're in Chapel
Hill, take a look at a vanishing
town. . .you may never see it
again.
The vanishing Chapel Hiil
is not the pruned and pam
pered University campus or
the neo-colonial shop fronts
along downtown Franklin
Street.
The vanishing Chapel Hill
is found on shady streets
where generations of students
have strolled on the gravel
or brick walks under the elms
and oaks.
The old houses, some stalely
and some modest, stand back
from the streets on lawns
flowered with daffodils
honeysuckle and dogwood,
timeless like Mallette Street
.where the last person to make
a home there moved in eight
years ago, a newcomer among
residents of 30 years and
longer.
This is the vanishing Chape)
Hill a chapter in the story
of the vanishing South. The
antebellum and Victorian
homes, no longer a part of
the economic picture, are suc
cumbing to age.
For the people in these com
munities the transition period
is a painful experience. Where
one old neighbor used to sit
on his front . porch swing or
coax his roses into more yield
per bush, students now buy
hamburgers.
Or like Cameron Avenue,
where two years ago the
homeowners watched two high
rise dormitories spring up
behind Clyde Eubanks' 70-year-old
house and wondered where
progress would strike next.
Now they know. Two years
ago Eubanks died without a
will and now another such
dormitory is being planned for
his property.
And on Mallette Street, just
around the corner, Anne
Queen who has lived there
since 1960 has watched her

property be rezoncd for com
mercial construction despite
her constant opposition.
"One of the things I've been
surprised to learn from this
whole fight," Miss Queen said,
"is that a person can have
pis property rezoned while he's
in complete opposition. When
a person moves into a home
be expects to be able to stav
there."
Miss Queen, who directs the
campus YWCA, lives in a
two-story white hovel at the
end of a long gravel drive that
runs from Mallette. "the nar
rowest street in Chapel Hill."
Beside the drive stands a
vine-covered fence that divides
the Queen property from the
back two acres of the
Eubanks'.
"Chapel Hill has its own
beauty," she said, "and I don't
want to see it become just
another town of apartments
and suburbs."
Miss Queen's property was
rezoned for limited con
struction even though nothing
will be built on her lot. "In
order to keep the new
dormitory far enough away
from a residential area to
meet a building ordinance
they eliminated the residential
area," she said.
"The Eubanks property is
desirable for a dormitory
because it has room for a
parking lot," Miss Queen said.
"My objection is that the
whole character of this com
munity will be changed; the
Eubanks property is too pretty
to be turned into a parking
lot.
;- "This is an example of spot
planning: the Board responded
to short-term demands."
Bob DeMaine, who
represents the Chapel Hill
Planning Board, argues that
towns like Chapel Hill are
responding to long-term
demands if anything.
"I'd personally rather live
next to the Eubanks house

with its well and old kitchen
out back," he said.
The walls of DeMaine's of
fice on the second floor of
town hail are covered with
maps of Chapel Hill. He
pointed to one entitled
"Development Plan for 1SS0,"
where the Eubanks property
was still a residential
zone.
"You have to think of the
people who win benefit from
rezoning 10 to 15 years from
now. I thought Lhat the
Eubanks property could best
be developed in some other
way, but my job was to recom
mend ways in which the
dormitory could be planned so
that it would least impose on
the people already living in
the community."
People who live in com
munities like the one around
the Eubanks land are painfully
discovering that the economics
outweighs tradition when such
problems arise.
The Eubanks home is a
white house three stories high
with a pillared front porch
and two acres of land. Those
with enough money to buy such
property would rather invest
in a newer home with modern
conveniences. And those who
take over property such as
the Eubanks would rather sell
to developers who are willing
to pay much, much more.
But for these people the
transition period is a
nightmare of watching the
homes and community they
have known disappear.

and his family. The 47-year-o!d
Lewis, who holds two masters
degrees from UNC works in
the University's law Ubrary.
Isabelie his wife, runs one
of the oldest kindergartens in
Chapel Hill in a little house
in their back yard.
"We were not rezoned along
with Anne" she said, "but
we opposed the building from
the start. We presented the
Board of Aldermen with a .
petition with 54 names cn it"
"It is not the town's
responsibility to provide dorm
space for the University,
especially when the University
has empty land on South Cam
pus and empty beds in its
dorms."
It was a warm day and
the door and windows were
open. Through the kitchen door
you could see the dogwoods
blossoming. Beyond them, the
Eubanks house peeked through
the trees.
"The nine months of building
will be a nightmare," she said.
She pointed beyond Anne
Queen's house.
"When they built Granville
dorm over there, the noise
was constant from 7 a.m. until
late at night. There was a
solid sheet of dust over
everything."
"But I don't think anything
can be done now."
She was right. On April 8,
the Board of Aldermen voted
on the Eubanks issue. The vote
was 4-3 to rezone. The petition
with 54 signatures was
declared invalid because it had

James Lewis and his 13-year-old
son, Timothy returned
from fishing. Tim f romped into
the house carrying a large
bass.
"Fine" his mother said dry
ly, "do you want to scale
him?"
James s?tt!ed into his
favorite livingroom chair.
"Two of our children have
never known another home
than his house," he said. Our
attachment is emotional, but
legally we don't have a very
strong case."
"Besides if we moved out
of here, where could we move
that is so pretty and so dose
to the University? There are
few places like this left
anywhere."
For James Lewis and the
54 other townspeople who sign
ed the petition against rezon
ing, it is now time to wait
They are watching the Chapel
Hill they know, and that
generations cf students have
known give in to progress.
"Well this is nothing new,"
James said. "It's happening
everywhere."
He stared out the window
at the trees. "I grew up-spent
my entire childhood in one
house in Linconia, Va. It was
then a lovely rural area.
"Two years ago they- tore
that house down. Now Linconia
is a hamburger stand, a shop
ping center and apartments.
"I don't ever want to go
back there."
