1024 Angier Avenue

1024 Angier Avenue was once home to a mill house built by Durham Hosiery. The floor layout shows it was Durham Hosiery's "F" type house, with an "indoor" bathroom.

Street Obelisk - Moved From Franklin & N. Alston

03.30.2020, N. Levy There aren't very many of these formerly ubiquitous concrete street markers still around town - probably the best known is this one near where the freeway carved up West End, while there's apparently a remarkable collection of them creatively repurposed for fencing on this farm. The one shown here, however, may have the dubious...

Durham Hosiery Mill No. 1

The Durham Hosiery Company had its beginnings in 1894, when it was organized by George Graham, and began operations in a building on Church St., and subsequently, Morris St. Later that same year, Julian Carr and John W. Smith organized the Golden Belt Hosiery Company (a different entity than the Golden Belt Manufacturing Co.) and located the new company at Five Points, at "the southward intersection of Main and Chapel Hill Sts." Given that the current buildings at that location were built during the 1920s, this building is likely gone.
