The East End/Cleveland Holloway developed during the 1870s-1880s, although Holloway itself developed somewhat later. There was a tobacco "leaf house" (the Umstead Tobacco Prizery) located on the northeast corner of Roxboro and Holloway during the 1890s 1891.

The Mary Duke Biddle building was designed to house the music program at Duke; it made a strong break with tradition, using some classical elements within a modern framework. I must admit that I didn't much care for this building until its current renovation.

Built on the site of the Robertson House, the Academic Advising Building closely matches the Georgian Style of the 1926 campus. It initially served as a replacement infirmary, supplanting the Bishop's House, but sometime after 1972, became the Academic Advising Building, which it remains.

Built on the former site of the President's House, Gilbert-Addoms ("GA") was built as a dormitory to house 200 women - it also featured sun decks and a cafeteria to seat 350. It was named for Katherine Gilbert, a philosophy professor at Duke from 1930-1952, and Ruth Addoms, a botany professor from 1930-1951.
