Heck-Andrews Home is now the home to the NC Association of Realtors
The Heck-Andrews House was finished in 1870 and was one of the first houses in Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina to be constructed after the American Civil War. It is located at 309 North Blount Street. It was created by G.S.H. Appleget for Mrs. Mattie Heck, the wife of Colonel Jonathan McGee Heck. It is on the National Register of Raleigh Historic Property. The house has a dramatic central tower capped with a convex mansard roof with a balustrade. The central part of the 21⁄2-story, Second Empire style frame dwelling is enclosed with a concave mansard roof with patterned slate.[2]
The house was owned by the Heck family until 1916 and was sold to A.B. Andrews. In 1948, Andrews heir sold the house to Julia Russell. The North Carolina government bought the house in 1987 planning to refurbish the structure. The exterior refurbishment was completed, however the State sold the house to the North Carolina Association of Realtors in January 2016 who plan on using it as an office building.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1]

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful stately building!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful old home. It would make a great inn or B&B! I wonder what the interior looks like, I hope it retains its original woodwork. I've always wished old homes could talk...the stories they'd tell!
ReplyDeleteWe're with Kea ... if only these walls could talk ... love old homes, old buildings, old furniture ... holding memories of another time.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful old home. Historic... would love to see the inside. It has a great front porch!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful home. Lots of lovely symmetry. If Mom lived there, she would be rocking her days away on the porch in a grand rocker.

I would love to see the inside of that house. I just love old houses in that style, and am usually surprised that the interior is not nearly as roomy as it looks from the outside. Genius move for a realtor association to set up office there!
