Description
The H.L. Trigg Building, on the campus of Elizabeth City State University, was originally the G.L. Little Library and later the Thorpe Administration Building. It was built with Public Works Administration and state funds. It was dedicated in May 1939, along with Bias Hall, a women’s dorm. That same year, the name of the school changed from the Elizabeth City State Normal School to Elizabeth City State Teachers College.
