There is a new multipurpose development being built on the former property of Peden Steel
click here to read about Peden Steel
The former factory in Raleigh – a warehouse that built munitions during World War I and fabricated steel for buildings and monuments around the city.
The structure's steel bones date back to the late 1800s. When it was originally located in the Warehouse District in downtown.
It was moved it to its new location along Atlantic Ave. in the 1950s
Now, it's coming back to life as Raleigh Iron Works.
We had fun wandering around. There will be lots of interesting shops and cafes
On TV news they indicated it was open for business so we took a field trip on the last Monday in August. All the signs on the shop windows said Opening Spring 2023.
News failed to mention only two places were open for business. They might need to revise the signs. There were only two places open for business both cafe's. Both had hours posted Tuesday-Saturday. Well go back to have a sandwich at
Sandwich Uptopia. The menu looked quite unique delicious.
The new area gave us lots of
HAPPY
when we saw how much of the original steel structure they are using from the original Building.
This swing is made from steel from the original building.
Yes the swing really swings too.
Below is old steel made into border with stones in it. This is located around the parking lot.
Now for more photos we took as we walked around. All the store fronts had signs: "Opening Spring 2023" We were there in late August.
