My grandfather built this house and I lived there from birth through college (1948-1970). I am very proud and pleased with the job that the new owners have done with the rennovation and rehab of the home. Most impressive. Thanks.

The family story was that the brick came from a tobacco warehouse. However, the worst fire in the history of Durham was recorded on March 23, 1914. The fire destroyed a large portion of the downtown. I wonder if the brick came from downtown buildings that were demolished after the 1914 fire.
