The Hygeia was
owned by Harrison Phoebus, a carpetbagger who, with his lovely wife Roselyn,
came to Hampton as a businessman. His home was called Strawberry Banks and the
manor house
was called Roselyn Manor. The manor house still stood in the 1960s but was
finally destroyed
by fire in the late 1970s.
Bill Ferguson,
Ferguson Corp, bought the land and built the
Strawberry Banks Motel
on the water there.
The loss of the house was during Bill Ferguson's ownership.
Hampton University
has since bought
the motel and uses it as an honors dorm. HU bought the property from Ferguson's
estate.

Strawberry Fields Forever
- John Lennon,
1966
Let me take you
down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to
me.
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think it's not
too bad.
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream.
I think I know I mean a "Yes" but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree.
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.
