Four South

Four South was a designation used by the Department of Residence Life for the four small houses south of campus along the east side of Avenue I, consisting of:

• Aydelotte House
• Gidley House
• Hathorn House
• McCray House

Classification

During the 1990s and early 2000s, the Department of Residence Life renamed and re-classified the names for the groups of houses that stood adjacent to Avenue I:

• The Valley (c. 1997) [1]
  • Adams, Allen, Barrett, Parkhill
  • Aydelotte, Gidley, Hathorn, McCray
  • Randel, Spivey, Vick

  • Adams, Allen, Barrett, Parkhill
  • Aydelotte, McCray

Usage

Each of the buildings at one time served a non-general population housing role:

• Aydelotte served as home to the Sigma Mu Zeta chapter of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.
• Gidley housed the Public Safety Services office and, later, Department of Residence Life.
• Hathorn House was briefly used as Residence Halls Association (RHA) offices shortly before its demolition.
• McCray was the Region VI Education Service Center, a non-university entity.

Demolition

Hathorn and Gidley were razed in 2001 and 2004, respectively, with the remaining houses demolished in 2005. Raven Village was built on the site.
