Abstract:

On April 23, 1913, the Bloomsbury Chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution presented a plaque, dedicated to Colonel Joel Lane, to the City of Raleigh. Colonel Lane was the original owner of a tract of land near Bloomsbury which was chosen as the permanent seat of the North Carolina government. The land formed the center of what is today Raleigh.
