(New South) completed a historic architecture survey for the proposed Research Triangle Regional Public Transportation (dba GoTriangle) Project in downtown Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina. The proposed project, termed RUS Bus, would include the construction of a facility on three parcels (totaling approximately 1.72 acres) owned by GoTriangle at 200 South West Street, 206 South West Street, and 210 South West Street. The existing buildings on the parcels would be demolished as part of the project except for the westernmost wall adjacent to the railroad. The prime consultant, WSP, is under contract with GoTriangle. The project is funded by the Federal Transit Authority (FTA) and, therefore, it must comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the regulations of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as amended. The work adhered to the procedures and policies established by the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (HPO) for compliance with Section 106, as specified in 36 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) 800.

    Anniversary DEJANEWS Edition A NEWSLETTER PUBLISHED BY THE RALEIGH HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION It has been said that, at its best, preservation engages the past in a 1 conversation with the present over a mutual concern for the future. 1 William J. Murtagh, Keeping Time:The History and Theory of Preservation in America RHDC 50YEARS Celebrating 50 Years of Preserving Raleigh's Future On December 18, RHDC will celebrate our 50th anniversary. In recognition of this milestone, this issue of our newsletter brings together former and present commissioners, staff, and collaborators to reflect upon our past successes, present programs, and future preservation challenges. Linda Edmisten, one of our earliest friends and colleagues, shares her unique perspective on the people and events that shaped the formative years of our commission. Others contribute their insights into our role in the community and the future of preservation. Inside you will also find a preview of upcoming events designed around our anniversary. Since our commission was first established in 1961, Raleigh has experienced a period of unprecedented growth and change, and the opportunities and challenges now facing us as a result of this change are mirrored in similar communities across our country and in much of the world. The demand for more durable and self-reliant local economies, increased energy and infrastructure efficiencies, and expanded affordable housing options are just a few examples of areas in which preservation can and should contribute to our community. We have decided to change our name to the Raleigh Historic Development Commission to better reflect both the importance of our past as well as the promise of a sustainable future.

This survey project updates the 2006 architectural survey of post-World War II properties constructed from 1945 to1965 that provided the basis for the 2009 MPDF, “Post-World War II and Modern Architecture in Raleigh, North Carolina, 1945-1965,” which addressed residential property types only. The current MPDF builds on the contexts presented in the 2009 MPDF, which are hereby incorporated by reference, and extends their coverage by a decade. This thirty-year period, 1945-1975, is referred to as the postwar era throughout this MPDF. The 2006 survey, sponsored by the city of Raleigh, was the first comprehensive survey of the mid-century modern resources of a North Carolina city.

  • Raleigh, North Carolina
    Coordinates: 35°46′N 78°38′W Raleigh, North Carolina Raleigh (/ˈrɑːli/; RAH-lee)[6] is the capital of the state of North Carolina and the seat of Wake County in the United States. Raleigh is known as the "City of Oaks" for its many Raleigh, North Carolina [7] oak trees, which line the streets in the heart of the city. The city covers a land area of State capital city 147.6 square miles (382 km2). The U.S. Census Bureau estimated the city's population as City of Raleigh 474,069 as of July 1, 2019.[4] It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country.[8][9] The city of Raleigh is named after Walter Raleigh, who established the lost Roanoke Colony in present-day Dare County. Raleigh is home to North Carolina State University (NC State) and is part of the Research Triangle together with Durham (home of Duke University and North Carolina Central University) and Chapel Hill (home of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). The name of the Research Triangle (often shortened to the "Triangle") originated after the 1959 creation of Research Triangle Park (RTP), located in Durham and Wake counties, among the three cities and their universities. The Triangle encompasses the U.S. Census Bureau's Raleigh-Durham-Cary Combined Statistical Area (CSA), which had an estimated population of 2,037,430 in 2013.[10] The Raleigh metropolitan statistical area had an estimated population of 1,390,785 in 2019.[11] Most of Raleigh is located within Wake County, with a very small portion extending into Durham County.[12] The towns of Cary, Morrisville, Garner, Clayton, Wake Forest, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Knightdale, Wendell, Zebulon, and Rolesville are some of Raleigh's primary nearby suburbs and satellite towns.
