Back in February this year Raleigh’s historic Crabtree Jones House was successfully moved to its new site by Preservation NC. This architectural treasure now needs to be prepped for a grand open house later this month. You can help us ‘get our house in order’ by attending the Crabtree Jones House Clean-Up from 9 am until 12 noon this Saturday, May 10, 2014.

Help us clean up the Crabtree Jones House!

At Preservation NC, “SWAT” stands for “Saving Worn-out Architectural Treasures,” and we plan to hold a SWAT Day at the Crabtree Jones House in Raleigh this Saturday, May 10, from 9am-12noon.
