201 North Church St. - Hicks Building

(Courtesy Duke Archives) The buildings along the west side of the 200 block of North Church St. are a very-well preserved block of early 20th century structures. The Hicks building, on the northwest corner of North Church and East Parrish, and its immediate 3 neighbors to the north were constructed around 1910. 209-211 North Church, at the northern end of the row, was constructed somewhat later, likely during the early 1920s.

122-124 East Parrish

Some blocks are just really, really hard to put together a sequence of images for - the south side of the 100 block of East Parrish St. is one of those. Below is one of the few views of the block face, with 108 East Parrish clearly visible, and the remaining structures rather fuzzy. Looking east, 1940. Another view of the block, from a colorized...
