Abstract:
The L. Vincent Lowe, Jr., Award is the highest preservation award given to a state business for promoting protection of architectural resources in the state. When the old Farmers Market in Raleigh moved across town, the Logan Trading Company, a nursery, needed new quarters. The old Seaboard Railway Station, built in 1941-42 and abandoned in 1986, provided the space. The Logan Trading Company received the 1991 award for seeing the advantages in recycling an old structure to meet new business requirements.
