George Stephens decided to attract Presbyterian College for Women from its Uptown location to a 50-acre lot of its choice in Myers Park. He was not, however, the only suitor that Presbyterian College for Women had. Three others made their own offers and forced Stephens to increase his offer. Eventually he won out, and the college moved to this location in 1914 and it was renamed Queens University.

Turn around and head back up Queens Road. At the intersection of Queens Road, Queens Road and Providence, head north onto Queens Road. You'll see the public library on the left. Follow Queens Road to Granville Drive and turn left. Follow Granville Drive to Hermitage Road and turn left on Hermitage Road where we'll find our last two houses.
