150 DuBose House Lane – UNC’s Georgian Revival Garden 
Explore the old world elegance of this Georgian Revival-style garden on the mountaintop campus of the UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School’s Rizzo Center. The garden surrounds “Meadowmont“, a handsome 34-room mansion adorned with both Georgian and Federal fronts that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. David St. Pierre DuBose, a 1921 UNC graduate who trained as an electrical engineer, fulfilled his dream of creating a rural estate in Chapel Hill with the prominent Baltimore architects Herbert G. Crisp and James R. Edmunds Jr. Mrs. DuBose was a charter member of the Chapel Hill Garden Club, founded in 1931. Mr. and Mrs. DuBose and their three children created an extensive working farm at “Meadowmont” and their farm-to-table hospitality is still remembered. The development of The University of North Carolina is rooted in this historic property and the generosity of the DuBose family. They donated the mansion and surrounding 27 acres of parkland to UNC in 1988.
