More from UGA Health Sciences Campus: Winnie Davis Hall

Winnie Davis Hall on the former Navy Supply Corps School in Athens, GA.  Built in 1902, the building was originally a dormitory for the Georgia State Normal School.  The building is named for the daughter of Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederacy.

Former Navy School

Lovers of historical markers and historical buildings will have a field day now that the University of Georgia has taken over the old Navy School location.  There are a lot of makers and plaques to see.  Today I'm gonna show you the Carnegie Library.

When the Navy had the location they used it as a museum as well as a library.

Located to the right of the library is a lovely garden.

More picture later.

The Kissing Rocks

The Kissing Rocks are located on Prince Ave in front of the old Navy School.
