At the corner of West Martin and Harrington streets in Raleigh's revitalizing Depot Historic District, an unlikely butterfly is emerging from its decades-long cocoon. The historic 1910 two-story brick structure built for Allen Forge & Welding Company and enlarged around 1927 for the Brogden Produce Company -- and more recently home to longtime occupant Cal-Tone Paints -- has emerged from its asbestos panel sheathing for a new incarnation as the home of Raleigh's Contemporary Art Museum (CAM).

Abstract:
The North Carolina Museum of Art had a unique beginning, one that was both scoffed at and praised. In 1947, North Carolina became the first state to appropriate funds for a public art collection, when the General Assembly approved $1-million to purchase works of art. The Museum of Art was not opened until the 1950s. Today, it is the cultural showplace of the state and is visited by over a quarter of a million people annually.

The two-mile trail ends in a pedestrian stone bridge over the Raleigh Beltline that connects it with miles of Raleigh greenway trails.
