Abstract:

The historic Old Rectory building on the grounds of Christ Episcopal Church in Raleigh has been deemed too valuable to tear down. Built of handmade brick and completed in 1814, the Old Rectory was Raleigh's oldest brick building and a structure whose architectural and historic significance was emphasized by its listing in the Historic American Buildings Survey. The building originally had a dual purpose, being home to both the State Bank and the bank's first president, Colonel William Polk.
