It must have been amazing to have to clean out her house - and how fortunate that the box was found with all her history inside.

I...The Heck-Andrews House is my absolute favorite! I did some sketches a few years ago of a handful of the historic houses in downtown Raleigh. A few that I sketched are no longer around (in fact, likely were torn down long before I was born), because I fell in love with their stories on GoodnightRaleigh.com -- LOVE that blog! <br /><br />Our city truly has some amazing stories to tell, if you're curious enough to learn about it. I will have to do a post soon, where I can share my sketches. It would surely get me excited to get back out there and photograph some of these historical treasures. <br /><br />Your photos are gorgeous. I love the first one, showing the storefronts. Reminds me of many of the old postcards that GoodnightRaleigh has dug up over the years, thanks to many of the loyal (and older) readers who are constantly providing new insight into the past! <br /><br />Great post! xoCassiehttp://www.beetandbaguette.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-74487595455214365822014-03-24T14:47:10.424-04:002014-03-24T14:47:10.424-04:00I love that they are preserving the past.

I would definitely rather see offices in an old home than have them bulldozed to build something sleek and modern. Have a great week.
