The Holman

The Holman pays homage to a former use of the house when it was called ‘The Holman Apartments.’ We are unsure of its exact use at this time, but it was somewhere between a small community and a Boarding House. The Holman family were large land owners in the early 1900’s in Black Mountain. It it unclear the exact tie to 406 W State Street, but the Holman University, which resided in Black Mountain for just two years from 1904-1906. The aim of Holman Christian University, according to the college catalog was “to make it possible for every ambitious boy and girl in this part of the country to get an education, and we believe we have solved the problem!”
