Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night

1301 Hillsborough Street



1301 Hillsborough Street is quite the anomoly. I’ve driven by this place several times and wondered if people lived in the house. It reminds me of the house from “Fight Club”. In fact, I’ve often confided in friends that I’d love to live in it.
What is particularly interesting about this house is the fact that it is subjoined to the storefront that is on Hillsborough Street. The storefront is currently The Jackpot, an indie club with a nondescript façade. It is located near The old Staudt Bakery, and like that old building, it is mostly hidden while in plain sight. This may have helped it escape the demolition spree of the mid to late 60’s.
