The Carolina Trust Building is a 1902 Colonial Revival bank. McLellan&#039;s Five &amp; Dime Store purchased first the Carolina Trust, then the Mahler Building, combining them in 1932 into one large store with a unified storefront. While the storefronts of both buildings have been remodeled repeatedly, upper stories retain original distinction. The Mahler Building has characteristic round-arch windows with bracketed metal caps and keystones. Carolina Trust, a more restrained Classical style, displays less texture and fewer curves than its neighbor.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nDate:  1902 and 1876, respectively","sponsor":null,"accessinfo":"","lede":"","website":"","related_resources":["<a href=\"https://cityofraleigh0drupal.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/drupal-prod/COR10/CarolinaTrustAndMahlerBuildings_LandmarkOrdinanceAndReport.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Carolina Trust/Mahler Buildings Landmark Designation Report and Ordinance</a>"],"factoids":[],"files":{"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/19e83b22cae505a554705d3b9dc21e90.jpg":{"id":234,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Carolina Trust/Mahler Buildings, 2009","description":"Image by Michael Zirkle Photography, copyright Raleigh Historic Development Commission.","thumbnail":"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/19e83b22cae505a554705d3b9dc21e90.jpg"},"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/c85468173077504d9650fabe16e1d5de.jpg":{"id":577,"mime-type":"image/gif","title":"Carolina Trust/Mahler Buildings, 1920","description":"Image courtesy of Carolina Trust/Mahler Buildings.","thumbnail":"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/c85468173077504d9650fabe16e1d5de.jpg"},"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/9c0a9b398dd1fba0edfd3e2861be5a06.jpg":{"id":578,"mime-type":"image/gif","title":"Carolina Trust/Mahler Buildings, date unknown","description":"Fayetteville Street Mall Elevation.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nImage courtesy of Mahler Building LD Report.","thumbnail":"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/9c0a9b398dd1fba0edfd3e2861be5a06.jpg"},"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/b6dcb1a3dadbf7182812e7b98731369b.jpg":{"id":579,"mime-type":"image/gif","title":"Carolina Trust/Mahler Buildings, date unknown","description":"Fayetteville Street Mall Storefront.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nImage courtesy of Mahler Building LD Report.","thumbnail":"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/b6dcb1a3dadbf7182812e7b98731369b.jpg"},"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/cf41d080eadd69dabddad1eb546798e5.jpg":{"id":580,"mime-type":"image/gif","title":"Carolina Trust/Mahler Buildings, date unknown","description":"Image courtesy of Mahler Building LD Report.","thumbnail":"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/cf41d080eadd69dabddad1eb546798e5.jpg"},"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/0c3404e35710e8c24662ec94a654bdd8.jpg":{"id":581,"mime-type":"image/gif","title":"Carolina Trust/Mahler Buildings, date unknown","description":"Martin Street Elevation.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nImage courtesy of Mahler Building LD Report.","thumbnail":"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/0c3404e35710e8c24662ec94a654bdd8.jpg"},"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/df6965a2b628d5595d89209b4e556d7b.jpg":{"id":582,"mime-type":"image/gif","title":"Carolina Trust/Mahler Buildings, date unknown","description":"Salisbury Street Elevation.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nImage courtesy of Mahler Building LD Report.","thumbnail":"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/df6965a2b628d5595d89209b4e556d7b.jpg"}}}
