This is the Bath Building. I’m not sure what state business or research takes place here, but it is pretty dreadful looking from the outside. If it had more windows then it would probably blend in with the rest of the bland state government buildings around it.
What do you think is the ugliest building in Raleigh?

UPDATE: Karl has provided the following photo of the bath building when it was new in 1972:

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.

According to RaleighMSA, they are working on designed Trilliums Place, A condo/townhome community on Hillsborough Street near NCSU, East of the intersection of Hillsborough and Gorman streets.
