- Description:
- Postcard( black and white, linen texture, white border, divided back, 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches) titled Charles T. Woolen Gymnasium, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Construction of the building stretched from 1937 to 1938 and, upon completion, was seen as "modern" and one of the highest–quality basketball facilities in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Gymnasium (commonly known as the Woolen Gymnasium or Woolen) was the home of North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team from January 2, 1939, through February 27, 1965, across twenty-six seasons. The gym was first used competitively for intramural fencing in the spring of 1938. After the Tar Heels' departure, the facility was frequently used for course registration, pick–up basketball, and now the Exercise and Sports Science department is based in the building. No descriptive text on reverse. Card number CH-17.
