Where The Heel?, Part III
It’s been too long since our last edition of “Where The Heel?,” so I picked (what I believe to be) a tough one.
Can you identify this building? Can you tell me where in North Carolina it is? (By the way, it is still standing.) If you have a guess, leave it in the comments for this post. We’ll let you know if you are correct!

Looks like the Kivett Building at Campbell.

That’s right! It is the Kivett Building at Campbell University in Buies Creek, NC. The image is from the following postcard: Buie’s Creek Academy and Business College, Buie’s Creek, N.C.

This building was built by my grandfather, Zachary Talor (Z.T.) Kivett in 1903 (give or take a few yrs. I wasn’t born yet.) I was named after one of his twin boys that helped to construct it. He drew the plans, made the brick in a kiln he made, and sawed the lumber by a mill that he found floating down Cape Fear. They said he was a genius. Much has been written about him and this building in the last few years. My dad was one of his sons. I am very proud of my heritage, although I can’t lay any claim to it.
