Celebrating Ordinary Architecture
Raleigh has many post-WWII neighborhoods of modest colonial and ranch houses like Rochester Heights or Cameron Village. What makes these houses and neighborhoods special? What techniques are there for updating these smaller, mid-century architectural gems? To find out, please join the Raleigh Historic Districts Commission (RHDC) and Preservation North Carolina for a Community Conversation where local experts will discuss the character, charm, and evolution of Raleigh’s post-War neighborhoods. Subdivisions discussed will include Battery Heights, Cameron Village, Capitol Heights, Hi-Mount, Longview Gardens, Madonna Acres, and Rochester Heights.
