In 2019, Preservation Durham is concentrating on residential architecture just before and immediately following World War Two.  The Great Depression of the 1930s wrecked the housing industry in America for nearly a decade. The industry barely got back on its feet before America’s entry into the war stopped home construction again as materials were diverted to the war effort.

Preservation Durham is thrilled to announce our 21st annual Preservation Tour, which will highlight Durham’s historic West End neighborhood and the Burch Avenue Neighborhood.

We’ll celebrate the Pauli Murray House, which was recently named a National Historic Landmark, one of only four in Durham County!

We’ll offer guided tours of the oldest sections of Maplewood Cemetery, very nearly the only major place intimately involved with the city of Durham that has survived essentially intact from Durham’s earliest days to the present.

See some of the area’s most cherished residential and commercial restorations, and get sneak peeks into the not-yet- opened Grub Restaurant and The Cookery’s newest event space.

The tour will begin at noon each day, with booklets

Bull City Bungalow Days was a huge success!

Over 500 people turned out in beautiful weather to tour ten amazing bungalows in neighborhoods across Durham. Many thanks to our hard working planning committee, dedicated volunteers and generous homeowners!

Durham’s history is closely lined to the rise and fall of the NC tobacco industry, and the massive buildings that housed this manufacture are a huge part of Durham’s unique character.
