Area Information

The East Durham National Register Historic District, just a few blocks east of Downtown, was developed as a neighborhood with middle-class housing between the 1890s and 1940s by the Durham Land and Security Company. Convenient to Duke, NC Central University and Research Triangle Park, the ideally located neighborhood provides an excellent mix of affordable, quality historic homes. Contributing properties in the historic district are eligible for historic rehabilitation tax credits.  As it is located in the East Durham National Register District, it is eligible for historic preservation tax credits.

Durham, North Carolina, the City of Medicine U.S.A., is located about halfway between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the pristine beaches of North Carolina's Outer Banks. With 187,000 residents (223,000 in the County), Durham ranks fourth on the list of largest cities in the state, yet still maintains the friendly character of a small town. Both residents and visitors alike enjoy the host of cultural, historical, educational, and natural amenities that Durham has to offer.

About Project RED

Project RED is Preservation North Carolina, Preservation Durham, neighborhood residents and community advocates working together to help build a diverse, vibrant and affordable East Durham by preserving the neighborhood’s wealth of early 20th-century homes.

The houses will be affordable for service workers, public employees, and first-time homeowners. All of the historic Project RED homes will be sold with protective covenants and eligible for historic rehabilitation tax credits as well as other financial incentives.
