Abstract:

In the early 19th century, Cary, NC, was a railroad stop between Raleigh and Durham. Cary's first business was a hotel, known as an ordinary. In 1868, Allison Francis (Frank) Page decided to build the town's second ordinary and in 1971, Robert Strother bought the historic structure and leased it to the Historic Preservation Society of North Carolina.
