Morning View 072011
The beeping has finally stopped. I walk past this building about twice a week (It’s a downtown parking issue). Since the tornado back on April 16th the back up alarm warning has been going off, beep, beep, beep, beep …… This morning I noticed it has stopped. The condemned by the city of Raleigh sign on the building is gone and has been replaced with a for lease sign.

Where is this building located? It looks vaguely familiar. There appears to be a much older structure beneath the brick veneer and paneling. I’d like to give it a closer inspection!

Corner of E. Martin and East St.

Thanks for the info Bryan. My conjecture is that this uncovered structure may well be the skeletal remains of the Winters family homeplace. They were a prominent 19th-20th century African-American Raleigh family. More on this later!

Note to Bryan — went by cor. Martin and East this afternoon for closer inspection, and — the battered boards seen in your photo appear to be just another layer of veneer on the 1980s building on the corner. I guess the old Winters homeplace must be long gone. Took some pics for documentation, nonetheless.
