Preservation Tool Highlight: Places Worthy of Preservation (PWOP)

The Raleigh Historic Development Commission recognizes this building as eligible to be designated a local Raleigh Historic Landmark. This wishlist of places that have been evaluated and received a preliminary greenlight for local designation is called the Places Worthy of Preservation (PWOP).

The RHDC actively manages the PWOP list and adds new places as we research them. A consultant identified the building during architectural survey work to learn more about Raleigh's history and prevalence of midcentury modern design. This connection is strong thanks in large part to the prominence and prolific practice of NC State University's School of Design in the 1950s and 60s.

The Raleigh Planning Department funded the study as part of its ongoing historic preservation planning work. Raleigh's unique historic places are made up of more than Colonial or Victorian houses and residential neighborhoods. Different architectural styles were popular at various points in history. They all help tell Raleigh's story and deserve to be celebrated.
