This understated Bungalow was constructed in the 1920s and has
many original Craftsman features inside and out. The exterior has a
cross-gable roofline, original 9-over-1 sash windows, decorative
diamond-shaped windows on the first story and a 12-light decorative
window in the front gable. The engaged Craftsman porch with
weather boarded posts and railing is spacious and inviting.
Interior features include wood floors throughout and brick
mantels. The surprisingly large house was remodeled at some point
as a duplex and needs to be converted back to its original single-
family configuration. The house requires a complete rehabilitation.
Preservation NC and Preservation Durham plan to fully renovate this property as part
of Project RED. Once renovated, it will be sold with
protective covenants as a single-family owner-occupied residence.
Final sales price will be determined in accordance with final finishes
and income restrictions as required by potential grant funding.
Post-rehab price: $115,000–$125,000
Price subject to change based on final fixtures & finishes.
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. For more

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. PNC and PD have committed
to renovating and selling eight to twelve vacant historic houses and encouraging the private
construction of eight to twelve new houses. 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.
