The original two-story pedimented portico with paneled columns and pilasters remains, and sawn balusters line the upper level. The family enlarged and remodeled the house in the Colonial Revival style in 1940-1941. Also on the property are three turn-of-the-century barns, a pre-1940 water tower, and an extensive pecan grove. The County of Wake acquired the house and seventy-two acres in 1984 for use as an office and park. The park offers exhibits and interpretive tours and is also available for receptions.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nDate:  ca. 1855, ca. 1900, 1940-1941","sponsor":null,"accessinfo":"","lede":"","website":"","related_resources":["<a href=\"https://cityofraleigh0drupal.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/drupal-prod/COR10/OakView_LandmarkOrdinanceAndReport.pdf\">Oak View Landmark Designation Ordinance and Report</a>"],"factoids":[],"files":{"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/c2406a0bce4189d0457c73d6b4c8dca4.jpg":{"id":25,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Oak View, 2010","description":"View of house from barn.<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<br />\r\nImage courtesy of J.
