(It burned down and was replaced by the duplex that's there now). The downstairs came with a semi-finished basement which included a weird dorm-style shower... always wondered what the history of that building was and why someone built that crazy bathroom in a half-finished basement.

The brick apartment house next to it was a two story house in the 40's till the 80's and it was the post office before that. Dr. Nelson the dean of textiles live in it in the 50's.

I remember him telling me about his career as RoDs.I think he spelled his name Rowland, though. At least that's how it's spelled in the deed books. The Green House-- yes, I think you are right. I'm guessing 1901-02 was when it was built. All the older homes once on Hillsboro St are long gone. And the ones still standing date from 1910 or so-- like the Williams house at the corner of Park Ave., which I think is 1909. yes, Karen you are right.

Ramblers. Mr. Roland was Register of deeds for Wake county for many years. He was born in the house and lived there until him and Ruby moved to Springmoor when they sold the house. The green house is the oldest house between St. Mary's street and the fair grounds. That is Toney Weatherman in the foreground and the gentleman in the back is Lonnie Austin from the N.C. Ramblers.

It belonged to the original hotel (the Lemon Tree Inn). The university boarded it up and later demolished it (for fear that students would party too much, get hurt, etc.).

Lately Wed, 09 Sep 2009 04:29:07 +0000 http://goodnightraleigh.com/?p=1805#comment-4431 Kim is correct. The green house was the Weatherman's house (of Weatherman's Jewelers....Where Loco Pops resides now). She is the lady dancing in the photo. I believe her son Tony Weatherman (Woody's Dad) is the man playing the fiddle in the other photo (he ran the shop and did clock and jewelry repair for many years). Mrs. Weatherman lived in the green house for many years (she died not too long ago). I can't believe her relatives left so many things behind. Woody (from COC) went to Broughton. I lived on Maiden Lane from 1987-1990 and there was always some action across the street at the Plasma Center. Back then there was crazy John at the record store Changes (now Buddha's Belly) and Gator's and Alligator Alley were serving up the greasy breakfasts. Rechenbach's was beside Steve's Ice Cream and weed was sold in the back parking lot. Stroh's Dark (with a lemon) was on tap at Saddie's and the Big Mike was waiting on the plate. Kim is correct.
