Abstract:
The history of the Blount Street neighborhood and its recent redevelopment are described. The neighborhood is one of the oldest in Raleigh with many different styles of architecture including examples of Tudor, Second Empire, and Queen Anne architecture. During the 1960s, many left the downtown area for the suburbs and many of the houses were turned into government offices. Now, the redevelopment plan for the neighborhood is encouraging many to move back to the historic area.
