Quick Stop - Lieber College

📜 Lieber College (1837)

The third faculty double residence constructed, Lieber College was used as a faculty residence until the 1940s, when the university ceased providing faculty housing. The building is named for Francis Lieber (1800-1872), who lived in the house until 1855. Lieber was an internationally known professor of history and political economy, founder of the Encyclopedia Americana and one of the college’s most illustrious scholars.

Emma LeConte, daughter of Professor Joseph LeConte, witnessed the burning of Columbia in February 1865 from the family’s home in Lieber. During the four years in the 1870's that the university was desegregated, Lieber College was the home of Carolina’s first African American faculty member, Richard T. Greener (1844-1922).
