Centennial Home Tour Roundtable
Tuesday April 29, 7pm
North Carolina School of Science and Math

The Centennial Roundtable is an informal 
presentation and discussion by people who have 
been part of the Watts Hillandale 
neighborhood.  Most of them grew up in the 
neighborhood, some in the 1920s and 30’, others 
in the 1950s.   Some panel members raised 
families in the neighborhood in the 1960s.  Come 
hear about how the trees were cared for when they 
were planted, where the “Dye Ditch” was, how the 
golf course used to look, what “wild” animals 
were at the Children’s Museum, who marched in the 
first Fourth of July parade, why the bookmobile 
kept coming to Virginia Avenue, and mostly, why 
this has been a beloved place to live for the past 100 years.

The Lecture will take place at the North Carolina 
School of Science and Mathematics in the Lecture 
Hall Friedrick Educational Technology Center 
(ETC).  The ETC is located along Maryland Avenue 
with the entrance facing Club Blvd.  There will 
be signs to guide you to the ETC and the lecture 
hall from the main parking lot that runs along 
Club Blvd.    The parking lot entrance is where Ninth Street ends at Club Blvd.
