The New President’s House

  • A Bold Vision

    The new president’s house will be a welcoming place to engage in fellowship, meet new students and fund raise. Watch the slide show.

  • Building Through the Holidays

    Prior to Christmas 2011, the house gains more detail on the outside. The brickwork compliments the rest of the campus.

  • From the Back

    In December 2011, the back of the house shows windows and how the garage integrates with the new home.

  • Enclosing the Structure

    Brickwork and enclosing the house begin quickly in December 2011 as Old Man Winter is makes himself known.

  • Through the Trees

    Looking outbound and clockwise on Hargrave's front circle, this is what people saw leaving campus in November 2011

  • Basic Roof Outline Forms

    The basic outline of the roof is formed by late October 2011. The house is making a stir in Chatham.

  • The Frame Rises

    The front of the house in late September 2011 shows the development of the first floor.

  • Pouring the Foundation

    The foundation is poured in September 2011. After completion, the Hargrave family had its clue to the size and scale of the house.

  • Grading and Working the Site

    Once the trees were cut, The lot gets worked throughout August 2011. The site is prepped to receive a foundation.

  • The Corner of Hargrave and Military

    At the corner of Hargrave and Military, Hargrave begins an ambitious project for future development and fund raising efforts.

    When to Build

    Is this really the time to build a new President’s House? When considering other campus projects that need to be addressed, this is a fair question. The answer from then-President Baker and the Board of Trustees was a resounding yes! When we step back and look at the campus as a whole, it becomes apparent that the President House is a necessary fund raising tool.

    For the first time in its 100 year history, Hargrave Military Academy will have the ability to invite and entertain Alumni, Board Members, Donors and distinguished guests in a prominent and central location. The House enables alumni to meet and celebrate their memories of great Hargrave experiences.

    In addition, it serves as a setting for future Alumni meetings and Sabre Club gatherings. As a bonus, the President and Commandant will once again be living on the Hargrave campus.

    The projected cost for the President House is $1.4 million. The Board of Trustees has stepped up to the plate with a resounding $1.1 million and has made it their initiative to complete the funding.

    I encourage other donors, the Alumni Board and our fellow Alumnus to take the torch and move forward on funding. Through our generous giving, Hargrave can continue its tradition of producing America’s next generation of great leaders.
