Historic Property for Sale

FOR SALE!! NEWLY RENNOVATED OFFICE BUILDING ON .69 ACRES. The  Fuquay Springs Teacherage is a two-story Craftsman style building constructed as  a private residence in 1925 in Fuquay Varina. In 1947, the Wake County Board of  Education bought it and operated it as a teacherage until 1968. It is one of  only six known teacherages in Wake County, and it exemplifies housing provided  for teachers as an integral part of school consolidation in the early to  mid-20th century. In 2005 the building underwent a complete rennovation from a  private residence to a multi unit office building. The building won an Anthemion  award for best re-use. It is listed on the National Register of Historic places  and is a Wake County Landmark. For more information please contact Mary  Christofferson at 919.577.9835 or echristofferson@nc.rr.com.

NEW Reserve to Preserve Program

Capital Area Preservation is proud to introduce our newest program: Reserve to Preserve. The Reserve to Preserve listing has started to help promote preservation through public interaction and funding of historic places. By harnessing the power of the Triangle consumer, we hope to further the collective preservation mission of the participating historic properties. Our listings encompass historic places that serve as: space for event rental, guest accommodation, restaurant and beverage establishment, shopping locations, and sporting events. Your participation in our Reserve to Preserve program will help our non-profit organization cary out its mission to protect, promote, and educate the public about our area’s historic resources.
