(Courtesy State of North Carolina Archives) Above, looking south at the block of East Pettigrew between Henry Alley (intersecting street on the right) and Cozart St. (intersecting street next to Speight's service station, on the left) - circa ~1940s. 526-532 is the two-story structure next to Henry Alley.

522 East Pettigrew was originally the site of the Rex Theater, built in the late 1910s; 524 East Pettigrew appears to have been added a few years later (early-to-mid 1920s) as Albert Rosenberg's grocery, on the southwest corner of Henry Alley and East Pettigrew St. At the same time, 522 East Pettigrew became the Scarborough and Hargett funeral home...
