812 Volunteer Boulevard

Known as the McCleneghan Property, after its builder, 812 Volunteer Boulevard was purchased by Weston M. Fulton, who sold the land to UT for $31,500 in 1928. Fulton described the property as “a modern, eleven room residence with four baths, five bed rooms, vapor heating system, and a two car garage. This property fronts sixty feet on Temple Avenue and runs back 122 feet.”

The property served as administrative offices, as a home management house for the College of Home Economics, as UT’s first Black Cultural Center, and as a unit of the Student Success Center, before being razed in 2013 to allow construction of the new student union.
