Contents
In 1926 the property was purchased from T.A. Lacy: "All that certain lot of land, together with the buildings and improvements thereon, known as the Lively Lot," ...bounded on the north by what is known as the "Blacksmith Lot," on east by property of W.A. Hamilton, on west by property of Jackie Creasy. (Property: Sales/Purchases Deed Transactions, 1982.60; WMSBG. Deed Book 11-450, 9/23/1926)
A June 20, 1927 letter from architect Charles M. Robinson to President Julian A. C. Chandler regarding students' buildings called for a "Change of location to Lacy lot, additional baths, enlarged dormer and other increases ordered by you on the Lacy building..." (under Budget—Building Improvements and Construction, 1925-1930, Acc. 1982.45)
The rent from Alpha Chi Omega (Lacy) was $1,683.00. (Attached sheet "Lacy House $1,683.00, Julian A. C. Chandler to Col. Lane, Sept. 23, 1927, under Budget—Dormitory Housing—General, Acc. 1982.45) In August 1927, the Straw Hat noted that a brick house was being built for Alpha Chi Omega. (Straw Hat, 8/4/1927, 1) The July 1928 Straw Hat noted that the brick house built for Alpha Chi Omega was almost directly opposite the [[President's House. (Straw Hat, 7/5/1928, 3)
In 1929-1930, the house became the Kappa Kappa Gamma House. (Julian A. C. Chandler to Kappa Kappa Gamma, June 5, 1929, Acc. 1982.45)
