Knowing the soft spot most of you have for Raleigh's history and old buildings, please take a quick moment to sign this petition to save the old Carolina Bus Barn along the 1200 block of S. Person/S. Blount. Despite considerable interest from the city and private developers to see it historically rehabilitated and redeveloped into a fabulous mixed-use site, Greyhound is planning to imminently demolish the complex – likely this week. If there’s enough support, we’re hoping they will reconsider and be willing to sell it to a party who appreciate it for the gem that it is! https://www.change.org/p/david-leach-president-and-chief-executive-officer-greyhound-lines-save-the-carolina-bus-barn-raleigh-north-carolina Also, here's a link to an N&O article covering the situation. http://www.newsobserver.com/2015/03/02/4593991_historic-carolina-coach-depot.html?rh=1

There's also a tripartite house on the corner of MLK and Person St. (222 MLK) that dates to 1801 - though heavily modified. It and the lovely Italianate right next door are slated for eventual demo unless someone moves them offsite. A couple of blocks up on S. Street - just across from Shaw - there's also the Rogers-Bagley-Daniels-Pegues House, which dates to 1855. http://capitalareapreservation.com/th_gallery/rogers-bagley-daniels-pegues-house/

I'm not Mr. Brown, but from the Boylan Heights website, 805 W. South was "built in 1900 on Hillsborough Street and then moved to it’s present site in 1903/04, making it the second house in Historic Boylan Heights"... It's a great house - http://www.boylanheights.org/trivia1.html
