Sustaining Raleigh’s architectural inheritance for everyone’s benefit.
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and elevation of Raleigh, NC’s historic, cultural, and architectural assets.
Learn about some of Raleigh’s most vulnerable historic assets through our Places in Peril initiative. Preserving them strengthens our community, fosters a sense of place, and connects us to the past.
Do you know of a Raleigh building with architectural significance that faces demolition, neglect, or inappropriate alteration? We want to hear from you by April 30, 2026!
Our PIP (Places in Peril) Committee is collecting nominations for Places in Peril through a simple online form. We encourage you to submit any historic property you believe is at risk, providing details and photos if possible.
We’ll research five of the locations and feature them here during May, which is Historic Preservation Month.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Preservation Party on April 16!

Easements have emerged as a vital legal tool for protecting land and historic properties across North Carolina. As part of our “Preservation 101” educational series, we are taking a closer look at how these agreements function to safeguard our architectural inheritance. Essentially, an easement is a voluntary legal agreement between a property owner and a qualified preservation organization or public agency.
