Congratulations to 2004 NCA Winners

Carol's Garden Inn, 2412 S. Alson Avenue

CAROL AND STEVE BARDEN
Carol's Garden Inn, 2412 S. Alson Avenue. The Hall-Mann House was built around 1910 as a country retreat by the original owner of the Hall-Wynne Funeral Home, but Mrs. Hall did not want to leave the city. Hall sold the house to the Mann family who lived here until the 1980s. Today, it has been beautifully restored and is operated as a bed and breakfast inn, preserving a bit of the country in rapidly developing South Durham.


Dr. Charles H. Shepard House, 1608 Fayetteville Street

LONA HAYES
Dr. Charles H. Shepard House, 1608 Fayetteville Street. This elegant brick home was built in the 1920s by a physician at the nearby Lincoln Hospital as part of a street of homes of many well-to-do African Americans including physicians such as Dr. Shephard, lawyers, business owners, and professors at North Carolina Central University. This interesting and sophisticated house retains many of its original fixtures and is now restored after many years of neglect, providing an anchor at the north end of the street.


Temple Building, 302 W. Main Street

SELF-HELP CREDIT UNION
Temple Building, 302 W. Main Street. This downtown building was constructed at the corner of Main and Corcoran Street in 1909 as a bank, with the Elks Lodge and the Oddfellows Temple on the upper floors. The SHCU has completed a $2M renovation of this building, which is now the home of the Center for Responsible Lending. The SHCU has spent $50M on downtown renovations in many cities all over NC.


Pine Street Commercial Buildings
1103-1113 S. Roxboro Street

LEE DYNASTY, LLC, JUN LEE
Pine Street Commercial Buildings, 1103-1113 S. Roxboro Street. This block of one and two story brick commercial buildings was built around 1940, when this part of Roxboro Street was known as Pine Street and the neighborhood was a thriving African American community. Malcolm X spoke on Pine Street in 1963, debating with Durham Civil Rights leader Floyd McKissick, Sr. about the future of African Americans in the United States. The buildings stood empty for many years until Jun Lee renovated them and today they are home to several black-owned businesses.
