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.

Mr Brown.
This house on South Street in Boylans Heights looks to be older than the the neighborhood itself (the 1900 date listed I know is just a sort of autofill I see all over the site, but is still older than 1907 the neighborhood date). This is of course in addition to the antebellum house (carriage house?) behind Montford Hall. The South Street house appears 1890's to me. Do you know any details? Thanks.
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 -

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!

Also, here's a link to an N&O article covering the situation.
