Its corner stone was laid on October 12, 1793. After one century, October 12th was declared to be the birthday of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 1966, this building became one of the national Historical Landmarks.^[1]

Today, renovated Old East is still housing male and female students as a dormitory building.
