DAVIS-MASON HOUSE 2100 West Club Boulevard This lovely craftsman-style bungalow was built c. 1915 by R. D. Davis and was the home of three generations of the Mason family. It has many delightful architectural details that have been carefully restored by owners Kurt and Linda Hube, who carried out extensive structural repairs while preserving a fireplace, coffered ceilings, and original woodwork.

W. H. BUTLER HOUSE 2417 West Club Boulevard Owners Josh Allen and Jim Jennings restored this elegant 1917 bungalow from a dilapidated state. Its maintenance had been largely ingnored after it was divided into apartments. Josh and Jim have taken considerable pains not just to restore the structure, but also to resore its much bruised dignity by tending to the details such as the collonaded staircase and coffered ceilings.

*E. R. THOMAS HOUSE, 2009 West Club Boulevard From the outside, this house looks like a typical 1920 four-square style house, but inside it is filled with stained glass pocket doors, fireplaces, paneling, and other appointments that builder E. R. Thomas salvaged from Fairview, Washington Duke's Victorian mansion. Current owners Sasha and Sara Berghausen have restored this unique home that combines two eras of Durham history.

*1ST NATIONAL BANK MARQUEE 123 West Main Street The elegant marquee on the Neo-classical bank building designed by Milburn and Hester lent a solid elegance to the facade for 80 years. It was removed during remodeling in the 1990s and disappeared until architect Eddie Belk found it in a local iron shop. Building owners the Self-Help Credit Union have restored the marquee to its honored place on Main Street.
