County property records describe the property as “1 LOT BOYS DORMITOR”. (The school closed in 1962 when Southeast Guilford High School opened; Pleasant Garden Elementary School now stands where the high school was, about a block away from 6104 Laurel Knoll Drive.)
    • The property has been in the current owner’s family since 1953.
