This silhouette of the campus was created by Frances Jones Hooper, who came to Chapel Hill as a bride of sixteen in 1814. The Steward's Hall is on the left, a bell tower in the center, and the Main Building (now South Building) on the right. The date of the silhouette is often cited as 1814, but a much more likely date is mid-1820s. Silhouette from the Louis and Mildred Graves Papers (#4010) in the Southern Historical Collection, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Library.
