Case Overview The site is located in the southeast area Downtown Raleigh, in both the Downtown Overlay District as well as in the South Park neighborhood. The site, while located in close proximity to the core of downtown, is not currently developed in a dense urban manner. The site consists of multiple parcels characterized by multiple uses: single family homes, single family homes that have been converted to office or multi-family residential, civic buildings, small scale commercial buildings, office buildings, rights of way (streets and an alley) and vacant lots that are often used for parking. Buildings in the proposed rezoning are generally one and two stories and of a residential character, with one 3 story mixed use building at the corner of S. Blount St and E. Cabarrus St. (Masonic Temple). The site is substantially within the boundaries of the South Blount- South Person National Register Historic District, with 3 structures that are both individually listed on the National Register and designated as Raleigh Historic Landmarks, and one additional structure that is a designated Raleigh Historic Landmark. The site is also located in the 500 Block SouthPerson/ South Blount Redevelopment Plan area, and portions of the site are located within the South Park Redevelopment Plan area and the Downtown East redevelopment plan area. Per the Raleigh Historic District Commission’s report included in the application for a rezoning, “the potential local historic district is historically, architecturally, and culturally significant, possessing a mix of residential, commercial, institutional, and community landmark resources representative of African American life in Raleigh from the late nineteenth century through the beginning of the era of integration.” This rezoning proposes to add a local Historic Overlay District to the existing zoning, which is NB, NB-DOD, RB, RB-DOD and Business-DOD. The rezoning does not proposed to change

mailto:[email protected]

underlying zoning, nor does it propose to remove the DOD from any properties where it is currently applied.

Exhibit C & D Analysis Staff examines consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, compatibility with the surrounding area, public benefits and detriments of the proposal, and summarizes any associated impacts of the proposal.

1. Consistency of the proposed rezoning with the Comprehensive Plan and any applicable City-adopted plan(s)

1.1 Future Land Use

The site is designated Central Business District on the Future Land Use Map. The Land Use chapter of the Comprehensive Plan describes CBD as “This category applies to the Raleigh Central Business District, and is intended to enhance Downtown Raleigh as a vibrant mixed use urban center. The category recognizes the area’s role as the heart of the city, supporting a mix of high-intensity office, retail, housing, government, institutional, visitor-serving, cultural, and entertainment uses. Multiple zoning districts apply within the CBD, corresponding to the different character and vision for its various neighborhoods. The maximum residential density in this area would be 320 units per acre, with densities tapering off towards edge areas adjacent to established residential neighborhoods, but not falling below 40 units per acre. The closest conforming zoning district to this designation is “Bus” (Business) with DOD (Downtown Overlay District).” The addition of a Historic Overlay District is consistent with the Central Business District Designation as Historic Overlay Districts do not dictate use or density. HOD designation and the ensuing requirement for consistency with the Design Guidelines for the Raleigh Historic Districts may, however, restrict building height, scale and density in a manner that would preclude densities over 40 units per acre or development that would be characterized as “high intensity”, but could also ensure that new development corresponds “to the different character and vision for its various neighborhoods.”

1.2 Policy Guidance The following policy guidance is applicable with this request:

Policy ED 6.4 - Cultural Resource Promotion Work with local historic preservation and arts groups to identify and promote Raleigh’s cultural resources

The application of a Historic Overlay District is the City’s primary method of preserving historic and cultural resources.

Policy H 1.6 - Housing Preservation Encourage the preservation of existing housing units whenever feasible, especially structures of historic or architectural significance.

The proposed application of a Historic Overlay District does not prevent demolition of existing housing units nor does it prevent conversion of housing units to non-


residential uses. It is, however, the only tool in the existing zoning code to delay demolition of historically significant structures (including residential properties).

Policy UD 1.1 - Protecting Neighborhood Identity Use Neighborhood Conservation Overlay Districts (NCOD), Historic Overlay Districts (HOD), or rezonings to retain the character of Raleigh's existing neighborhoods and strengthen the sense of visual order and stability. The proposed application of a Historic Overlay District will aid in the retention of the character of the South Person-South Blount National Register Historic District and require the application of the Design Guidelines for Raleigh Historic Districts for new development and exterior and site changes to existing properties in the district.

Policy UD 5.1 - Contextual Design Proposed development within established neighborhoods should create or enhance a distinctive character that relates well to the surrounding area. The proposed application of a Historic Overlay District will require review for consistency with the Design Guidelines for Raleigh Historic Districts for new development and exterior and site changes to existing properties in the district. However, the proposed historic district is immediately adjacent on 3 sides to properties zoned Downtown Overlay District, and on the south by properties zoned O&I-2. These properties could be developed at an intensity and height substantially greater than those within the proposed historic overlay district, leading to a dissimilar character with nearby properties.

Policy UD 5.5 - Areas of Strong Architectural Character Preserve the architectural continuity and design integrity of historic districts and other areas of strong architectural character. New development within such areas does not need to replicate prevailing architectural styles exactly but should be complementary in form, height, and bulk. The proposed rezoning will preserve architectural continuity and design integrity through the application of the Design Guidelines for Raleigh Historic Districts.

Policy HP 1.2 - Cultural and Historic Resource Preservation Identify, preserve, and protect cultural and historic resources including buildings, neighborhoods, designed and natural landscapes, cemeteries, streetscapes, view corridors, and archaeological resources.

The proposed Historic Overlay District will protect resources within the boundaries through the use of the Design Guidelines for Raleigh Historic Districts.

Policy HP 2.3 - Raleigh Historic Designation Encourage and sponsor the designation of eligible historic resources for local protection.

The proposed rezoning designates eligible historic resources through the application of a Historic Overlay District.

Policy HP 2.4 - Protecting Historic Neighborhoods Protect the scale and character of the City’s historic neighborhoods while still allowing compatible and context-sensitive infill development to occur.


Historic Overlay District allow new development as long at it is consistent with the Design Guidelines for Raleigh Historic Districts, which serves to guide development to a context-sensitive design that is compatible with nearby and well related structures in the historic district. Action HP 2.6 -Downtown Historic Overlays Consider designating local historic overlay districts in downtown for Fayetteville Street National Register district, Depot National Register district, and South Person-South Blount Streets redevelopment plan area.

The rezoning proposes to create a local historic overlay district in the South Person-South Blount Streets redevelopment plan area.

Policy HP 2.7 - Mitigating Impacts on Historic Sites Development proposals adjacent to or including historic sites should identify and minimize or mitigate any negative development impacts on those sites. The application of a Historic Overlay District, and the ensuing use of the Design Guidelines for Raleigh Historic Districts, ensures review of development proposals within the Historic Overlay District for negative impacts on sites within the Historic Overlay District. In addition the Raleigh Historic Districts Commission can provide a non-binding review of development projects outside but adjacent to the Historic Overlay District for consistency and compatibility with the adjacent HOD.

Policy HP 3.1 - Adaptive Use Encourage adaptive use of historic properties to preserve cultural resources and conserve natural resources.

The application of a Historic Overlay District does not directly encourage adaptive use, however is does discourage the demolition of contributing structures and does not regulate property by type of use.

Policy HP 3.2 -Retention over Replacement Encourage the preservation and rehabilitation of significant or contributing existing structures, favoring retention over replacement, especially in areas where other historic resources are present.

The application of a Historic Overlay District does not prevent demolition of contributing structures, but does allow for a demolition delay of up to 365 days per the Design Guidelines for Raleigh Historic Districts. Because new structures in a Historic Overlay District must also be reviewed for consistency in scale, placement and design per the Design Guidelines, the Historic Overlay District indirectly serves as a disincentive for demolition of contributing structures as replacement structures could be required to be of a substantially similar scale.

Policy HP 3.3 - Adaptive Use and Parking Additional parking required for nonresidential adaptive use should be located to the rear of the historic structure. The majority of the properties in the rezoning application are in the Downtown Overlay District, which includes substantial parking exemptions. While additional parking for adaptive use will likely not be required because of the DOD, additional parking may be desired by property owners. The Design Guidelines for Raleigh Historic Districts give


guidance for ensuring compatibility with the historic district’s character, but do not specifically require parking to be located to rear of historic structures.

Policy HP 3.4 - Context Sensitive Design Use the existing architectural and historical character within an area as a guide for new construction.

The rezoning, by creating a Local Historic District, would require review of exterior modifications of existing properties, as well as new development to be reviewed for consistency with the Design Guidelines for Raleigh Historic Districts, which give guidance for ensuring compatibility with the historic district’s character.

Policy DT 1.13 - Downtown Transition Areas In areas where the Downtown Element boundaries are located in proximity to established residential neighborhoods, residential densities should taper to be compatible with adjacent development. Non-residential uses with the greatest impacts—such as theaters, concentrated destination nightlife and retail, and sports and entertainment uses—should be directed away from these transition areas. Where existing zoning overlays are mapped, the height guidance in these districts should not be changed outside of an area planning process See Map DT-3 for transition area locations. Not all of the properties in the area to be rezoned are included in the transition area location shown on Map DT-3; however the majority of the properties are in the transition area. While the application of the historic overlay district won’t mandate less intense development on the downtown edge, it certainly could curtail more intense development.

Policy DT 2.10 - Downtown Alleys Encourage the preservation and protection of existing internal alleyways in downtown. The proposed rezoning includes Stronach’s Alley. While inclusion in a historic district does not restrict demolition (or in this case removal or modification of the alley), the demolition, removal or modification would require Historic Districts Commission review and demolition could be delayed up to 365 days. The alley does not meet current street standards for width.

1.3 Area Plan Guidance Policy AP-SP 1 - South Park Downtown Transition Encourage mixed-use development (small-scale Office, Retail, and/or Residential uses) in the area bounded by Cabarrus, East, Lenoir, and Wilmington streets. The proposed Historic Overlay District does not guide use therefore it does not encourage mixed-use development. It does however impact scale through use of the Design Guidelines.

Policy AP-SP 4 - Character of South Park Infill Infill residential development should reflect the existing historic building types in the South Park study area. The proposed Historic Overlay District and associated Design Guidelines regulate development character, and promote compatibility with existing historic building types in the district.


Policy AP-SP 5 - South Park Historic Preservation Emphasize the historic significance of the South Park neighborhood through the promotion and protection of contributing historic elements. The proposed rezoning serves to protect contributing historic elements.

Policy AP-SP 6 - South Park/ Downtown Overlay Overlap Where the South Park plan overlaps the Downtown Overlay District, the intent of the Downtown Overlay District shall prevail. The proposed rezoning does not eliminate the Downtown Overlay District, though the use of the Design Guidelines will likely result in new development of a significantly less intense, tall, and dense character than that allowed in the Downtown Overlay District due to Design Guidelines regarding compatibility of scale of new development to existing contributing structures.

2. Compatibility of the proposed rezoning with the property and

surrounding area The Design Guidelines for Raleigh Historic Districts contains character essays for each of the local Historic Overlay Districts. This essay describes the historically contributing characteristics of each district, ranging from streetscape, building type, architecture, site features, and scale. Because each district has a specific character essay, the proposed rezoning is inherently compatible with the properties being rezoned, as the basis of the rezoning is the preservation of the character of the district. The proposed rezoning is also generally compatible with the surrounding area. The application does not propose to change underlying zoning or remove the DOD designation. The proposed rezoning would create a condition similar to that already present in the Blount Street, Capitol, and Moore Square Historic Overlay Districts, all of which contain properties zoned for a variety of districts, and all of which contain properties that are covered by both the DOD and HOD.

3. Public benefits of the proposed rezoning

The proposed rezoning will preserve existing development that has been determined to be historically contributing. The rezoning will also regulate the design of new development and existing building and site alterations by requiring review by the Raleigh Historic Districts Commission. The rezoning furthers the policies and actions of the Comprehensive Plan that call for the preservation of historic resources and existing housing stock, and ensure development is of a compatible scale and design as existing development.

4. Detriments of the proposed rezoning Preservation of the existing low scale development patterns, while compatible with the properties within the proposed Historic Overlay District, may prove to be dissimilar to the development patterns of surrounding properties. The Design Guidelines for Raleigh Historic Districts Guideline 4.3.6 states “Design new buildings to be compatible with surrounding buildings that contribute to the overall character of the historic district in terms of height, form, size, scale, massing, proportion and roof shape.” The proposed district borders properties zoned Downtown Overlay District on the northern, western, and eastern boundaries, and borders properties zoned O&I-2 and owned by Shaw University on the southern boundary.



These properties in the Downtown Overlay District are zoned to accommodate very dense, urban mixed use, and have no height limit. As properties in the area continue to develop, the Historic Overlay District may become surrounded by development of a dissimilar scale. The Comprehensive Plan calls for transitions in scale to be accommodated on the property of the more intense development. This could create a scenario in which a parcel is in the core of downtown, which is intended to accommodate some of the densest development in the city, while also needing to transition to adjacent properties that are developed at 1-3 stories. There are no differences in allowed uses, and allowed densities between a parcel zoned with only DOD and one zoned with both DOD and HOD, but the difference in allowable height and scale, and as a result intensity, may prove to be incompatible.

5.5 Parks and Recreation- are they going to review this? No comment. Impact Identified: None

5.6 Urban Forestry No impacts.

5.7 Wake County Public Schools Impact Identified: The majority of the site is currently zoned RB-DOD and NB-DOD, which allow up to 320 units per acre. The proposed rezoning does not impact underlying zoning categories or allowable density therefore there are no impacts on school enrollment.

5.8 Designated Historic Resources Per the RHDC’s Report and Recommendation for the Designation of the South Person/South Blount Historic Overlay District, the site is partially located in the East Raleigh-South Park National Register Historic District. In addition, the Rogers-Bagley-Daniels-Pegues House and the Masonic Temple, both City of Raleigh Landmarks and individually listed National Register Properties, are located within the boundaries of the proposed rezoning. Tupper Memorial Baptist Church, which is also within the boundaries of the proposed rezoning, is designated as a Raleigh Historic Landmark. The Dr M.T. Pope House, a City of Raleigh Landmark and individually listed National Register Property, is located adjacent to the rezoning boundaries on Wilmington Street. The report states that the “potential local historic district is historically, architecturally, and culturally significant, possessing a mix of residential, commercial, institutional, and community landmark resources representative of African American life in Raleigh from the late nineteenth century through the beginning of the era of integration.” (p.11) Impact Identified: The proposed rezoning will afford additional protection to the identified properties, as well as require new development in the proposed historic district to be reviewed for compatibility with the historic district character based upon the Design Guidelines for Raleigh Historic Districts.

5.9 Community Development

The site is located within the Person/Blount Redevelopment Plan area. Impact Identified: The 500 Block South Person/South Blount Street Area Redevelopment Plan (SP/SB Plan), adopted March 7, 2000, endorses the concept of historic preservation within the area being proposed for a HOD on page 3, Objective # 7: “To ensure compatibility of development and preserve historically significant buildings.” Among the proposed redevelopment activities summarized on page 4: “Provide resources to consider the designation of a Local Historic District and to establish design guidelines


to ensure compatibility of development.” The Proposed Zoning section of the Plan at page 7 specifically recommends that an historic overlay district be created on the area proposed in this rezoning, except that Stronach’s Alley was not indicated as part of the HOD recommended in the SP/SB Plan. This action (as well as the creation of a local historic district), according to the Plan, would help “stabilize the eroding historic character of this area” and would be “a vital component to maintaining the residential character of this area.” The establishment of an historic overlay district in the area indicated in the Z-21-11 rezoning case is consistent with the adopted 500 Block South Person/South Blount Street Area Redevelopment Plan. Parts of the area are also included in the South Park and Downtown East Redevelopment Plans, as well as the Moore Square South Development Strategy. The twelve properties in or adjacent to the proposed HOD that were acquired by CD are currently unimproved properties, except the one-story commercial structure at 517 Blount Street. Any construction to be undertaken on these properties by CD itself or to entities to whom it sells them will be subject to historic guidelines that can help preserve the character of the area.

5.10 Impacts Summary None

5.11 Mitigation of Impacts None.

6. Appearance Commission No review

7. Conclusions The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the future land use map. No impacts have been identified, and there are no outstanding issues to be addressed. The application of a historic overlay district would preserve the existing historic character of the area. The historic overlay district could constrain intense development in this urban edge of downtown.

This section is reserved for the applicant to state factual information in support of the rezoning request. Required items of discussion: The Planning Department is instructed not to accept any application for amending the official zoning map without a statement prepared by the applicant analyzing the reasonableness of the rezoning request. This statement shall address the consistency of the proposed rezoning with the Comprehensive Plan and any other applicable City-adopted plan(s), the compatibility of the proposed rezoning with the property and surrounding area, and the benefits and detriments of the proposed rezoning for the landowner, the immediate neighbors and the surrounding community. Recommended items of discussion (where applicable): 1. An error by the City Council in establishing the current zoning classification of the property. 2. How circumstances (land use and future development plans) have so changed since the property was last zoned

that its current zoning classification could not properly be applied to it now were it being zoned for the first time.

3. The public need for additional land to be zoned to the classification requested. 4. The impact on public services, facilities, infrastructure, fire and safety, parks and recreation, topography, access

to light and air, etc. PETITIONER’S STATEMENT: I. Consistency of the proposed map amendment with the Comprehensive Plan

(www.raleighnc.gov).

A. Please state the recommended land use(s) for this property as shown on the Future Land Use Map and discuss the consistency of the proposed land uses:

The Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan designates this area as being within the Central Business District. While the proposed rezoning seeks to introduce a Historic Overlay District to this area, all current underlying zoning would remain in place. The current underlying zoning designations in this area are consistent with the Future Land Use designation of Central Business District.

B. Please state whether the subject property is located within any Area Plan or other City Council-adopted plans and policies and discuss the policies applicable to future development within the plan(s) area.

The area was identified in the “500 Block South Person / South Blount Area Redevelopment Plan” adopted by City Council in 2000. This plan included the action item "Provide resources to consider the designation of a Local Historic District and to establish design guidelines to ensure compatibility of development" for the project area.” A portion of this site is located within the South Park Area Plan. The properties within the Area Plan are also within the Downtown Overlay District, and the Plan specifically notes that in any instance of overlap, the regulations of the Downtown Overlay District will prevail.

EXHIBIT D. Request for Zoning Change Please use this form only – form may be photocopied. Please type or print. See instructions in Filing Addendum

Filing Addendum 7 Form Revised March 10, 2011

The proposal would be consistent with all applicable plans.

C. Is the proposed map amendment consistent or inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and other City Council-adopted plans and policies?

The 2030 Comprehensive Plan contains an entire section dedicated to Historic Preservation. The Historic Preservation Element includes several recommendations to promote preservation; one of which being the establishment of new Historic Overlay Districts. The rezoning proposal to apply a Historic Overlay District to this area is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and all applicable policies listed below. Policy HP 1.2 Cultural and Historic Resource Preservation – Identify, preserve, and protect cultural and historic resources including buildings, neighborhoods, designed and natural landscapes, cemeteries, streetscapes, view corridors, and archaeological resources. Proposal would apply a Historic Overlay District to this area. This overlay was recommended by a Raleigh Historic Districts Commission report adopted in May of 2011. The report outlined the historic significance of the area and provided a detailed inventory of all significant contributing structures within the subject area. Application of the overlay will help to ensure that the cultural and historical resources referenced in the RHDC report are protected and preserved. Policy HP 2.3 Raleigh Historic Designation – Encourage and sponsor the designation of eligible historic resources for local protection. Proposal would apply a Historic Overlay District to this area. Doing so will provide local resource protection through the Raleigh Historic Districts Commission. The overlay recognizes that change is an important element in the city’s evolution, indicating a healthy, vital neighborhood and reflecting the pride of residents in their community. Historic district overlay zoning provides the mechanism of a design review process for exterior changes; however, it does not affect the uses of properties as permitted by the existing zoning. Policy HP 2.4 Protecting Historic Neighborhoods – Protect the scale and character of the City’s historic neighborhoods while still allowing compatible and context-sensitive infill development to occur. The historic neighborhood within the subject area will be protected and preserved through the application of the proposed Historic Overlay District. If approved, all future development within the subject area will be reviewed for compatibility with the district’s special character. Specifically, any exterior alterations, new construction, demolition, significant landscape changes, or moving of buildings will be evaluated for adherence to the Historic Overlay District’s development standards (design guidelines). As mentioned in the Raleigh Historic District Commission’s report, the area is historically, architecturally, and culturally significant, possessing a mix of residential, commercial, institutional, and community landmark resources. Application of the Historic Overlay District will not prevent changes; the neighborhood will be protected from unmanaged change by a review process based on established design guidelines.



Action HP 2.6 Downtown Historic Overlays – Consider designating local historic overlay districts in downtown for Fayetteville Street National Register District, Depot National Register District, and South Person-South Blount Redevelopment Plan Area. Proposal would apply a Historic Overlay District to this area. The boundaries of this area include contributing structures and undeveloped land where protection of the historic urban context will prevent inappropriate development. This request would fulfill one part of this Action Item in the Comprehensive Plan – consideration of designation of the South Person-South Blount Redevelopment Plan Area. Policy HP 2.7 Mitigating Impacts on Historic Sites – Development proposals adjacent to or including historic sites should identify and minimize or mitigate any negative development impacts on those sites. The historic sites within the subject area will be further protected and preserved through the application of the proposed Historic District Overlay. The subject area contains 62 resources that contribute to the historic character of the district; three of these properties, the Tupper Memorial Baptist Church, the Rogers-Bagley-Daniels-Pegues House, and the Masonic Temple, are designated Raleigh Historic Landmarks. If approved, all future development within the subject area will be reviewed for compatibility. The Historic Overlay would mitigate impacts of future development on vacant parcels, as well as sites that are redeveloped. Policy HP 3.1 Adaptive Use – Encourage adaptive use of historic properties to preserve cultural resources and conserve natural resources. Application of a Historic Overlay District will help to encourage the adaptive use and re-use of historic properties in the subject area. The proposed overlay will also discourage demolition of historically significant structures. Policy HP 3.2 Retention Over Replacement – Encourage the preservation and rehabilitation of significant or contributing existing structures, favoring retention over replacement, especially in areas where other historic resources are present. Application of a Historic Overlay District will help to encourage the preservation and rehabilitation of historic structures in this area, while also discouraging the demolition of these structures. Policy HP 3.3 Adaptive Use and Parking – Additional parking required for nonresidential adaptive use should be located to the rear of the historic structure. The development standards applicable to the Historic Overlay District include design guidelines that address the location and design of parking areas. Policy HP 3.4 Context Sensitive Design – Use the existing architectural and historical character within an area as a guide for new construction. The historic neighborhood within the subject area will be further protected and preserved through the application of the proposed Historic District Overlay. If approved, all future



development within the subject area will be reviewed for compatibility. During review by the Raleigh Historic Districts Commission, existing architectural features and historical character will be taken into account to ensure new development is designed and built in a context-sensitive manner. The design guidelines specifically address the sensitive introduction of new construction. Policy HP 4.5 Support for Neighborhoods – Support neighborhood efforts to pursue both federal and Raleigh historic designations, and to make use of zoning overlay districts. This proposal is a result of the public process conducted for the “500 Block South Person / South Blount Area Redevelopment Plan.” Property owners and citizens played a critical role in evaluating the area as a potential Historic Overlay District. Proposal would apply a Historic Overlay District to this area. The area is historically, architecturally, and culturally significant, possessing a mix of residential, commercial, institutional, and community landmark resources. Application of the overlay will help to protect and preserve these resources. Policy H 1.6 Housing Preservation – Encourage the preservation of existing housing units whenever feasible, especially structures of historic or architectural significance. Application of the Historic Overlay will help to encourage the preservation of cultural and historical resources, which in this case include single and multifamily housing. In addition, the South Person South Blount Area has historically been an affordable residential neighborhood, which is a valuable resource in such close proximity to downtown employment centers. Policy ED 6.4 Cultural Resource Promotion – Work with local historic preservation and arts groups to identify and promote Raleigh’s cultural resources. Application of the Historic Overlay will reinforce the City’s recognition of the district as possessing special significance, which may provide for future partnerships in cultural resource promotion. Policy UD 1.1 Protecting Neighborhood Identity – Use Neighborhood Conservation Overlay Districts (NCOD), Historic Overlay Districts (HOD), or rezonings to retain the character of Raleigh’s existing neighborhoods and strengthen the sense of visual order and stability. The historic neighborhoods within the subject area will be further protected and preserved through the application of the proposed Historic District Overlay. Historic district designation is designed to protect and enhance the existing character. If approved, all future development within the subject area will be reviewed for compatibility – the neighborhood will be protected from unmanaged change by a review process based on established design guidelines. Review by the Historic Districts Commission will help to stabilize the neighborhood and preserve the current character. Policy UD 5.1 Contextual Design – Proposed development within established neighborhoods should create or enhance a distinctive character that relates well to the surrounding area. Change is an important element in the city’s evolution, indicating healthy, vital neighborhoods and reflecting the pride of residents in their community. Historic Overlay District designation will encourage development that enhances the character of the proposed Historic Districts



through the design review process for exterior changes. The development standards (design guidelines) are part of a process that ensures that property changes are within the spirit and the character of the historic district. The historic neighborhoods within the subject area will be further protected and preserved through the application of the proposed Historic District Overlay. If approved, all future development within the subject area will be reviewed for compatibility. Proposed development will be reviewed for compatibility by the Historic Districts Commission. Policy UD 5.5 Areas of Strong Architectural Character – Preserve the architectural continuity and design integrity of historic districts and other areas of strong architectural character. New development within such areas does not need to replicate prevailing architectural styles exactly but should be complementary in form, height, and bulk. The historic neighborhoods within the subject area will be further protected and preserved through the application of the proposed Historic District Overlay. If approved, all future development within the subject area will be reviewed for compatibility. The design guidelines specifically address the sensitive introduction of new construction; the introduction of a compatible but contemporary new construction project can add depth and contribute interest to the district.

II. Compatibility of the proposed map amendment with the property and the surrounding area.

A. Description of land uses within the surrounding area (residential housing types, parks, institutional uses, commercial uses, large parking lots, thoroughfares and collector streets, transit facilities):

The surrounding area is primarily large scale commercial to the west, commercial and high density residential to the north, small scale/low density commercial and residential to the east and Institutional/University uses to the south. The subject area contains primarily residential uses, with a few small-scale commercial and institutional uses throughout.

B. Description of existing Zoning patterns (zoning districts including overlay districts) and existing built environment (densities, building heights, setbacks, tree cover, buffer yards):

The subject area is currently zoned Residential Business, Neighborhood Business and Business with Downtown Overlay District. The majority of the area is developed as residential and small scale institutional/commercial.

C. Explanation of how the proposed zoning map amendment is compatible with the suitability of the property for particular uses and the character of the surrounding area: This area contains several historically significant structures, and would be appropriate for the Historic District Overlay designation. The Historic Overlay will help ensure compatibility when future development occurs, and will also preserve and protect the current structures in place.



All development proposals will be required to be sensitive to the context and character of the district. This area has historically been an affordable residential neighborhood, with small pockets of commercial within walking distance to the downtown area. Application of the Historic Overlay District would be compatible with the surrounding area.

III. Benefits and detriments of the proposed map amendment.

A. For the landowner(s):

A Historic Overlay District is a distinctive area, a place of singular historical flavor characterized by its streets and squares, buildings and trees, architectural design and landscape features. A historic district is also a legacy, linking present and future generations with their heritage and providing a diversity vital to the city’s future quality of life. The City’s Code of Ordinances recognizes that Historic Overlay Districts are valuable assets to the identity of the city. It also recognizes that change is an important element in the city’s evolution, indicating a healthy, vital neighborhood and reflecting the pride of residents in their community. The landowners in a Historic Overlay District would benefit from the increased protection measures that a Historic Overlay District provides, as well as a level of predictability in the nature of redevelopment. The proposed overlay would ensure compatible and context-sensitive future development, while preserving the current historic character of the area.

B. For the immediate neighbors:

The immediate neighbors would benefit from the proposed Historic Overlay District’s additional regulations on the subject area, which help to guide development in a uniform and compatible manner.

C. For the surrounding community:

The proposal to apply a Historic Overlay District to this area would benefit the surrounding nearby community and be in the public interest. The area contains several historically significant structures that would be preserved and protected.

IV. Does the rezoning of this property provide a significant benefit which is not available to the

surrounding properties? Explain: The surrounding properties would not benefit from the increased protection measures that a Historic Overlay District provides, or the level of predictability in the nature of redevelopment.



Explain why the characteristics of the subject property support the proposed map amendment as reasonable and in the public interest.

This area was the subject of a City Council-commissioned study recently completed by the Raleigh Historic Districts Commission. The potential local historic district is historically, architecturally, and culturally significant to the City, possessing a mix of residential, commercial, institutional, and community landmark resources representative of African American life in Raleigh from the late nineteenth century through the beginning of the era of integration. 62 structures were catalogued in the report as significant historic resources; three Raleigh Historic Landmarks are located in the proposed district. Despite the vacant lots scattered through the project area, the remaining resources provide a picture of the community that justifies the implementation of a historic overlay district. Overlay zoning is the most appropriate method of preservation for the area, which would protect current structures and landmarks, as well as guide future development on vacant lots.

V. Recommended items of discussion (where applicable).

a. An error by the City Council in establishing the current zoning classification of the property.

N/A

b. How circumstances (land use and future development plans) have so changed since the property was last zoned that its current zoning classification could not properly be applied to it now were it being zoned for the first time.

N/A

c. The public need for additional land to be zoned to the classification requested.

The area proposed to be rezoned is historically significant and in need of further protections and preservation. Applying a Historic Overlay District to this area will help to accomplish this goal. Requiring future development in this area to be reviewed for compatibility will ensure that future development is built in a context-sensitive manner consistent with the surrounding historic structures.

d. The impact on public services, facilities, infrastructure, fire and safety, parks and recreation, topography, access to light and air, etc.

N/A

e. How the rezoning advances the fundamental purposes of zoning as set forth in the N.C. enabling legislation.

RAlEIGH HISTORIC DISTRICTS COMMISSION

June 13, 2011

Mayor Charles 'Meeker City Councillors

City of Raleigh PO Box 590 Raleigh, NC 27602

RE: South Person / South Blount Historic Overlay District (HOD) Proposal ,

Dear Mayor Meeker and City Councillors:

As follow up to a 2000 City-initiated small area plan, the Raleigh Historic Districts . Commission (RHDC) presents to City Council the Report and Recommendation for the

Designation of the South Person / South Blount Historic Overlay District. Based on feedback received from property owners within the proposed boundaries in response to both mailings and RHDC-sponsored community meetings, RHDC makes the following recommendation to Council:

1. Receive as information the Report and Recommendation for the Designation of

the South Person / South Blount Historic Overlay District.

2. Refer the report and recommendation to the Department of Cultural

Resources, the South Park-East Raleigh Neighborhood Association

(SPERNA), and the Downtown Raleigh Alliance (DRA) for their analysis and recommendation.

Background In 2000, City Council adopted the 500 Block South Person / South Blount Area

Redevelopment,Plan, which included the action item "Provide resources to consider the designation of a Local Historic District and to establish design guidelines to ensure compatibility of development" for the project area. Towards that end, City Council

granted RHDC funds to commission a historic research report. Due to limited staff and commission availability, the. finalization of the report was delayed until this spring. Please find attached the finalized report.

Consideration of HOD designation for theproject area is included as Action Item HP 2.6 in the city's newly-adopted Comprehensive Plan.

Public Process Prior to Rezoning Petition In January of this year, in- cooperation with proposed district property owner and former RHDC member Edna Rich-Ballentine, the commission notified the CAC and reached out to identify property owners who were involved with the 2000 small area

page 2 June 13, 2011 South Person / South Blount Historic Overlay District (HOD) Proposal

plan effort to confirm if there was continued interest in a HOD. After a very positive response from attende~s, a second public meeting was held March 28, 2011 to share the

historic research report, discuss the benefits and trade-offs of local HOD zoning,

answer questions about the Certificate of Appropriateness program, and gauge property owner interest in a potential HOD. For this meeting, the commission notified

the CAC and mailed letters to every property owner within the proposed boundaries. Three. follow-up letters have been mailed to affected property owners and have provided additional information on the benefits and trade-offs of HODs, continued

invitations to property owners to provide feedback, and updates on the status of the commission's evaluation.

At the Central CAC chair's request, the commission attended several CAC meetings.

Although there appeared to be little to no attendance at any of these meetings by property owners within the proposed boundaries of the HOD, on June 6 the CAC voted to not support the HOD.

On behalf of the commission, I have made a significant effort to personally reach out to affected property owners to solicit feedback. Additionally, J.E. Williams, proposed

district property owner and former RHDC member, has personally visited or called as

many property owners as possible to discuss the proposal and to solicit feedback. We have requested written feedback to the greatest extent possible to ensure accurate recordation.

The commission also met with the ORA's Issues Committee; the ORA issued an

opinion with three concerns, including the fear of a negative effect of HOD zoning on property values and the appropriateness of the district boundaries. In its research, the

commission has not found any evidence to support the assertion that HOD zoning negatively impacts property values. However, in response to the broader community's and ORA's concerns regarding the inclusion of the Stronach's Alley block, the

commission modified the boundaries of the proposed HOD.

Recommendation to City Council The Raleigh Historic Districts Commission reviewed the report at its May 17, 2011

meeting. The commission makes the following recommendations to the City Council:

1. That the South Person / South Blount project area be designated as a Historic Overlay District (HOD) according to the boundary described in the revised "Proposed South Person / South Blount Historic Overlay District" map included in the Report and Recommendation for the Designation of the South Person / South Blount Historic Overlay District.

2. That the historic development standards to be applied by RHDC in consideration of applications for Certificates of Appropriateness (COAs) be


approved as described in the Report and Recommendation for the Designation of the

South Person / South Blount Historic Overlay District.

3. That City Council add to the RHDC work program an item to explore the possibility of conducting archaeological investigations in cooperation with property owners of the adjacent "Stronach's Alley block," bounded by E. Cabarrus, S. Wilmington, E. Lenoir, and S. Blount streets, and to seek funding for these investigations.

4. That alternative names for the historic overlay district be investigated with the goal of better reflecting the historical significance of the area.

District Name The current working name for the district, "South Person / South Blount Historic Overlay District," does not resonate with the community, which may identify a more appropriate name for the district during the rezoning public process. The commission suggests the name "Deluxe Historic Overlay District" as one alternative. The Deluxe Hotel, formerly the Lewis Hotel, was located in the heart of the project area at 220 E.

Cabarrus Street. Its historic significance lies in that the Deluxe Hotel and Lightner Arcade were the only hotel accommodations for African Americans in Raleigh during the Jim Crow era. Famous guests included the bands of Nat King Cole, Cab Calloway, and Louis Armstrong. The Deluxe, built in 1923 and renamed in 1948, was destroyed by fire in 1992.

HOD Designation Process Section 10-2052 (f) of the city code outlines the procedures for designating a HOD. This includes the preparation of a historic research report and recommendation to City Council, attached; the Council then refers the report and recommendation to the Department of Cultural Resources for its analysis and recommendation. Council- may also choose to forward the item to additional parties.

The code states that the recommendation shall be treated in the same manner as any request for a change in the City's zoning ordinance, then be processed through the procedures outlined in Sectioh 10-2165. Following preparation of the zoning petition, authorization of a joint public hearing will be requested at the City Council's September 20,2011 meeting for a joint public hearing on October 18, 2011.

Summary Based on a positive response from the majority of property owners with whom we've had contact, RHDC recommends that City Council (1) receive as information the Report and Recommendation for the Designation of the South Person /

South Blount Historic Overlay District; and (2).Refer the report to the Department of Cultural Resources, the South Park-East Raleigh Neighborhood Association


(SPERNA), and the Downtown Raleigh Alliance (DRA) for their analysis and recommendation.

BACKGROUND The City Council may designate a “historic overlay district” by zoning ordinance according to §10‐2052 of the Raleigh City Code. These procedures are enabled by North Carolina General Statutes, Chapter 160A‐400.1 through 160A‐400.14. The city has designated five local historic districts: Oakwood (1975), Blount Street (1976), Capitol Square (1976), Boylan Heights (1984), and Moore Square (1992). In 2000 City Council recognized the historic significance of the 500 block of South Person and South Blount streets by including a historic preservation element in the city‐adopted 500 Block S. Person/S. Blount Area Redevelopment Plan. The plan specifically notes historic overlay district zoning as a tool to stabilize the historic character of the neighborhood, also “maintain[ing] the residential character of this area.”1

The Raleigh Historic Districts Commission (RHDC) was tasked with implementing the historic preservation element of the plan, which is the consideration of a historic overlay district (HOD). To accomplish this, City Council funded the preparation of a historic overlay district designation report, with RHDC appointed as the administrator of the project; a consultant was hired and an initial draft was completed. Due to scarce resources, the draft was not finalized in 2000. The project remained on the on the Department of City Planning’s work program, however, and the consideration of designating the South Person/South Blount project area as a local historic overlay district is included as an action item in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan [HP 2.6].

RECOMMENDATION

The Raleigh Historic Districts Commission reviewed this report at its meeting on May 17, 2011, following a neighborhood meeting held on March 28, 2011. The commission makes the following recommendations to the City Council: 1. That the South Person/South Blount project area be designated as a historic

overlay district according to the boundary described in the revised “Proposed South Person/South Blount Historic Overlay District” map included in this report.

1 500 Block S. Person/S. Blount Area Redevelopment Plan item VI.B.2.b, p. 7.

page 3

2. That the historic development standards to be applied by the Raleigh Historic Districts Commission in consideration of applications for Certificates of Appropriateness be approved as described in this report.

3. That City Council add to the RHDC work program an item to explore the possibility of conducting archaeological investigations in cooperation with the property owners of the adjacent “Stronach’s Alley block,” bounded by E. Cabarrus, S. Wilmington, E. Lenoir, and S. Blount streets, and to seek funding for these investigations.

4. That alternative names for the historic overlay district be investigated with the goal of better reflecting the historical significance of the area.

2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SIGNIFICANCE

The Historic Preservation Element of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan offers guidance to sustain and promote the identity of Raleigh as a city with great historic communities. It includes recommendations to promote preservation; enhance planning, regulatory and incentive tools; and improve coordination among stakeholders who impact the preservation of Raleigh’s cultural and architectural heritage. The policies of the Historic Preservation Element advance all six vision themes that serve as the overarching goals of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The following policies of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan render further support to the creation of historic overlay districts where appropriate, to help preserve the historic identity of Raleigh:

Policy HP 1.2 Cultural and Historic Resource Preservation Identify, preserve, and protect cultural and historic resources including buildings, neighborhoods, designed and natural landscapes, cemeteries, streetscapes, view corridors, and archaeological resources. Policy HP 2.3 Raleigh Historic Designation Encourage and sponsor the designation of eligible historic resources for local protection. Policy HP 2.4 Protecting Historic Neighborhoods Protect the scale and character of the City’s historic neighborhoods while still allowing compatible and context‐sensitive infill development to occur.

page 4

Action HP 2.6 Downtown Historic Overlays Consider designating local historic overlay districts in downtown for Fayetteville Street National Register district, Depot National Register district, and South Person‐South Blount Streets redevelopment plan area. [emphasis added] Policy HP 4.5 Support for Neighborhoods Support neighborhood efforts to pursue both federal and Raleigh historic designations, and to make use of zoning overlay districts. Policy H 1.6 Housing Preservation Encourage the preservation of existing housing units whenever feasible, especially structures of historic or architectural significance. Policy ED 6.4 Cultural Resource Promotion Work with local historic preservation and arts groups to identify and promote Raleigh’s cultural resources. Policy UD 1.1 Protecting Neighborhood Identity Use Neighborhood Conservation Overlay Districts (NCOD), Historic Overlay Districts (HOD), or rezonings to retain the character of Raleighʹs existing neighborhoods and strengthen the sense of visual order and stability. Policy UD 5.5 Areas of Strong Architectural Character Preserve the architectural continuity and design integrity of historic districts and other areas of strong architectural character. New development within such areas does not need to replicate prevailing architectural styles exactly but should be complementary in form, height, and bulk.

HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE

The project area is representative of several facets of Raleigh’s African American urban historic significance during the mid‐nineteenth century through the beginning of integration: 1. Architecture: The South Person/South Blount district contains buildings that

are primarily residential in nature, peppered with a handful of small‐scale

page 5

commercial and institutional buildings throughout. Modest in size and scale, the buildings show a progression of architectural styles.

2. Neighborhood/Community: The South Person/South Blount project area

retains an urban residential feel with elements of commercial development. Historically this has been an affordable neighborhood within walking distance of Raleigh’s urban core.

The South Person/South Blount Historic District research report more fully describes these themes. A copy of the research report is attached.

URBAN DESIGN SIGNIFICANCE

The designation of the South Person/South Blount District will put in place an important tool for achieving the goals outlined in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and the 500 Block S. Person/S. Blount Area Redevelopment Plan. Pertinent objectives include: 1. Preserving the historic architecture and urban cultural landscapes that are

significant to the city’s history and development. 2. Retaining residential character in an area with significant development

pressure threatening its still‐affordable community. 3. Promoting infill development that respects and enhances the existing scale

and density of the area. 4. Providing smaller commercial structures with lower overhead costs to serve

small business needs in the neighborhood.

HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS

The intention of a historic overlay district is “to insure insofar as possible that the exterior portion of buildings, structures and their appurtenant features located within an Historic Overlay District...shall remain in harmony with other buildings, structures and appurtenant features in the District....” Raleigh City Code §10‐2052(e)(4) lists documents entitled Design Guidelines for Raleigh Historic Districts and The Secretary of the Interior’s Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings as the development standards for Raleigh historic districts, and it is

page 6

recommended that these standards be used for the South Person/South Blount Historic Overlay District.

page 7

SOUTH PERSON/SOUTH BLOUNT HISTORIC OVERLAY DISTRICT BOUNDARY JUSTIFICATION

The district boundaries were identified in the process of adopting the 500 Block S. Person/S. Blount Area Redevelopment Plan. The boundaries have been updated to reflect changes that have occurred since the plan’s adoption in 2000. The boundaries include contributing buildings as well as undeveloped land and non‐contributing structures where necessary to protect the historic urban context from inappropriate development.

The South Person/South Blount project area lies within the original limits of the City of

Raleigh as established in 1792. The potential local historic district is historically,

architecturally, and culturally significant, possessing a mix of residential, commercial,

institutional, and community landmark resources representative of African American

life in Raleigh from the late nineteenth century through the beginning of the era of

integration. A portion of the project area is listed in the National Register of Historic

Places as part of the East Raleigh‐South Park Historic District, and three resources

within the project area are individually listed in the National Register: the Masonic

Temple Building, the Dr. M.T. Pope House, and the Rogers‐Bagley‐Daniels‐Pegues

House. These properties, as well as the Tupper Memorial Baptist Church, are designated

Raleigh Historic Landmarks.

Statement of Significance

Little is documented about the project area’s development prior to the Civil War,

although the survival of the ca. 1855 Rogers‐Bagley‐Daniels‐Pegues House confirms

early residential development in the area. Presumably, whites were the area’s principal

landowners before the war, although African Americans would have comprised a

sizable percentage of the area’s population, as blacks represented nearly fifty percent of

Raleigh’s population in the late antebellum period.1

The Reconstruction period marks the beginning of the project area’s development as

part of an African American neighborhood. Freedmen migrated to Raleigh from

surrounding rural areas in hopes of securing economic advancement and the protection

of federal authorities, and African American neighborhoods sprang up around the

periphery of the city. Southeast Raleigh, the section of the city that embraces the project

area, proved particularly attractive to blacks due to its proximity to Shaw University.

Founded in 1866 as the Raleigh Institute and relocated to its present site in 1870, the

traditionally African American university commanded “the heart of the negro district.”2

Others have written that Shaw “greatly stimulated black development in South Raleigh”

and aided in the creation of Raleigh’s African American professional elite. Shaw

University was founded by a white Baptist missionary, Henry M. Tupper, who

established Second Baptist Church in conjunction with the school. Tupper Memorial

Baptist Church, as the church is now known, stands at 317 S. Blount in the project area

and has been described as “one of the leading institutions in post‐war Raleigh’s

emerging black community.” Designated a Raleigh Historic Landmark in 2000, the

present building was erected in 1912‐13 and remodeled in 1957.3

During the late nineteenth century African Americans were employed in the tobacco

warehouses and factories that were erected in and near the project area. William Carter

Stronach (1844‐1901), a prosperous white businessman and civic leader, spearheaded

Raleigh’s efforts to become a tobacco market. Stronach was a partner in the wholesale‐

retail grocery business W.C. and A.B. Stronach, which employed approximately thirty

workers, some of them African‐American, at three store locations in downtown Raleigh.

Stronach built Raleigh’s first tobacco sales warehouse in 1884 at the corner of

So described by white civic leader Josephus Daniels. 2

page 12

Wilmington and Davie streets adjacent to the project area. Soon thereafter a prizery, a

factory for preparing tobacco for shipment, was constructed on the southeast corner of

Wilmington and Cabarrus streets. Raleigh failed to develop as a tobacco market, and

Stronach’s warehouse and other facilities were eventually torn down.

Stronach’s Alley The original study boundaries included a city block bounded by E. Cabarrus, S. Wilmington, E. Lenoir, and S. Blount streets, which is archaeologically sensitive due to its high potential to yield cultural resources. While not included in the recommended boundaries of the South Person/South Blount Historic District, this report recognizes the archaeological potential of the Stronach’s Alley block, and so includes a brief history: Possibly related to the tobacco industry was the development of a small African American enclave on property Stronach owned near the Wilmington‐Cabarrus prizery. Transecting the block bounded by E. Cabarrus, S. Wilmington, E. Lenoir, and S. Blount streets, Stronach’s Alley was a hub of activity. Black carpenter Bibb Matthews (perhaps Robert B. Matthews) named the enclave after his employer W.C. Stronach. It is possible that Matthews, with his father W.H. Matthews, identified as a bricklayer and plasterer in period business directories, and other members of the Matthews family also active in the building trades, were responsible for the construction of houses throughout the project area. The block containing the Stronach’s Alley enclave was a nexus of residential, institutional, and commercial life. As of 1903 residents of the block worked in a variety of trades, with job descriptions such as laborer, porter, gardener, coachman, butler, painter, physician, driver, janitor, pastor, manager.4 In addition to residences, a church, two mission rooms (also labeled “Negro Hall”), a movie theater, a hospital, and commercial uses for the cotton and automobile industries were present during the period of significance. Sanborn maps (Appendix A) show the evolution of the block and give an indication of the broad array of artifacts that may be present on the site. For example, historic St. Ambrose Church, known first as St. Augustine’s, was built in 1868 on the northwest corner of N. Dawson and W. Lane; in 1895 the church was moved to S. Wilmington Street, where it played a large role in the neighborhood until its demolition in 1965.5

Stronach’s Alley survives as a roadway connecting Wilmington and Blount streets.6 While the majority of the land in the city block encompassing the alley is now vacant and used for parking, development requiring extensive digging has not occurred. There is, therefore, a high potential for the archaeological discovery of material cultural remains that would foster a better understanding of urban African American daily life during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Excavation of this block could yield information on social and material inequality between whites and blacks in Raleigh. It might also provide information for a comparison of urban and rural African American landscapes and material culture. Finally, a survey might tell the story of the block’s rapid change from residential and commercial activities during the mid‐twentieth century.

Pictorial sources and maps from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries,

supplemented by surviving resources, provide insight into the architectural character of

the project area. One‐story frame houses with gable roofs predominated, and front

porches and rear kitchen wings with side porches expanded the living and working

space of these small houses. Sanborn insurance maps from the 1880s and 1890s indicate

a number of duplexes and also long one‐story houses with narrow gable ends facing the

street, or “shotgun” houses.

Although the South Person/South Blount district’s houses were generally small, they

often possessed stylish exteriors, as demonstrated by surviving examples. The late

nineteenth century, well‐preserved shotgun house at 514 S. Bloodworth boasts Victorian

ornamentation such as delicate sawn porch railings and post brackets and a quatrefoil

gable vent. Similar in form, a row of shotgun houses constructed ca. 1888‐96 stood on

Stronach’s Alley.

Also found in the project area are “Triple‐A” houses, which feature decorative center

gables on their side‐gable roofs. The four houses on the east side of the 600 block of

South Blount Street feature diamond‐shaped and quatrefoil vents.

One exception to the small scale of the project area’s houses from this period is the two‐

story brick residence of Dr. Manassas Thomas Pope, constructed in 1900 at 511 S.

Wilmington. The Pope House features a two‐tier front porch with a second‐story “sun

parlor” enclosure and, on a side elevation, a circular stained‐glass side window. The

house, which also contains Dr. Pope’s office, was individually listed in the National

Register of Historic Places in 1999. This house is representative of larger‐scaled houses 7

page 15

present along the eastern side of the 500 block of S. Wilmington Street at the turn of the

century. On Sanborn maps, along S. Wilmington between Stronach’s Alley and E. Lenoir

Street, were five dwellings similar in scale to the Pope House. Additional two‐story

Victorian‐style houses survive, such as 215 E. Cabarrus.

511 S. Wilmington Street 213, 215, and 219 E. Cabarrus Street

Beginning in the 1910s the Victorian housing of preceding decades was supplemented

by new house styles and forms. Craftsman‐style bungalows, vernacular houses with

Craftsman‐style elements, and foursquare‐form houses were popular during the 1920s—

examples survive at 312 and 314 E. Cabarrus and 521 S. Person. Later houses with

Colonial Revival detail began to appear; one of the project area’s more sophisticated

houses of this period is the ca. 1920 Charles Frazier House at 121 E. South, a gambrel‐

roofed dwelling with Craftsman and Colonial Revival accents. Frazier was the secretary‐

treasurer of the Capital Building & Loan Association and a cashier with the Mechanics &

Farmers Bank. Frazier’s house stands next to the aforementioned antebellum Rogers‐

Bagley‐Daniels‐Pegues House, which was acquired by Shaw University’s African

American dean of theology, Albert W. Pegues, in 1919.8

Gothic‐inspired architecture is present in the project area as well, in the ca. 1922 Davie

Street Presbyterian Church at 300 E. Davie, and the ca. 1923 Gethsemani Seventh Day

Adventist Church at 501 S. Person.

300 E. Davie Street 501 S. Person Street

The project area is located several blocks south of East Hargett Street, Raleigh’s African

American “Main Street,” and this proximity combined with the area’s location in

downtown Raleigh helped foster the development of a secondary commercial focus.

Examples of industrial/commercial form buildings from the early twentieth century

include those located at 318 E. Davie (ca. 1912), now a residence, and 529 S. Blount (ca.

1929).

page 17

318 E. Davie Street 529 S. Blount Street

Another contributing factor was the presence of the Masonic Temple Building at 427 S.

Blount. From its construction in 1907 the Masonic Temple functioned as a sort of

incubator for black‐owned businesses, in addition to its role in supporting the

institutional needs of the community. The Masonic Temple may have been a factor in

the location of the Lincoln Theatre at 126 E. Cabarrus, a simple ca. 1940 brick building

graced by an Art Deco marquee and adjoined by a slightly later commercial block with

basket‐weave brick parapet panels.

427 S. Blount Street 126 E. Cabarrus Street

The landscape of the 500 block of S. Wilmington Street, which contained the Pope House

and similar large scale houses, as well as the north side of the 600 block of E. Lenoir,

changed dramatically between 1914 and 1950. During this period the residences gave

page 18

way to an African American hospital, wholesale and warehouse facilities, and

businesses related to the automobile industry. The majority of this block is now vacant,

but likely contains significant archaeological deposits related to early to mid‐century

industry.

The mixed residential‐commercial character that the Person and Blount corridors

acquired by mid‐century is apparent in a 1947‐48 aerial view published in Culture Town

(p. 51).9 Some commercial construction, such as the 1948 substantially altered, gable‐

fronted stuccoed masonry building at 510 S. Person, dates to the period of prosperity

that followed the Second World War. In the 1950s the project area’s non‐domestic

architecture began to show the influence of modernism. The one‐story brick commercial

triplex at 600 S. Blount exhibits characteristics of the style such as a flat roof and

aluminum‐frame display windows. The modernist flat‐roofed brick headquarters

building of the General Baptist State Convention of North Carolina at 603 S.

Wilmington, built in 1953, features projecting and recessed entries with stack‐bond

surrounds and windows in projecting concrete frames.

600 S. Blount Street 603 S. Wilmington Street

The mid‐twentieth century marked the high water mark of residential, commercial, and

institutional development in the project area, but the period was also one of profound

change that bettered the lives of the city’s African American population while

page 19

paradoxically acting to weaken the project area’s vitality. Integration alleviated the

socioeconomic strictures that gave rise to Raleigh’s separate African American

neighborhoods, and the project area’s residents and businessmen were freer to live,

shop, and locate businesses elsewhere. The nationwide decline of downtown areas

during the third quarter of the twentieth century also contributed to the deterioration of

the project area. In the last quarter of the twentieth century and the first decade of the

twenty‐first, economic revitalization centered on Raleigh’s commercial core has

presented new challenges. Deteriorated or obsolete structures have been demolished for

new construction and parking lots. Despite these losses, much of the area retains the

historic character it had acquired by the mid‐twentieth century. The area’s historic

residential character was strengthened in recent years by the relocation of six historic

and modern houses to vacant lots or derelict properties on the block bounded by

Bloodworth, Cabarrus, Davie, and Person streets.

Inventory

The preparation of this report entailed architectural survey and historic documentation

of the project area in order to assess the contributing significance and integrity of the

area’s historic resources. Integrity was assessed in part according to five criteria that

were developed for an assessment of the district potential of Raleigh’s College Park‐

Idlewild neighborhood. The five criteria are: integrity of roofline, trim, windows,

exterior wall cladding, and porches. Resources that possess integrity for at least three of

the five criteria are classified as contributing to a district. An additional criterion is used

by the SHPO to assess the contributing status of historic resources that have been moved

into an area from elsewhere. Whether the resources were threatened in the original

location and whether they are compatible with their new context are considerations.10
