This National Historic Registry Property, Wake County Landmark and winner of the 2006 Anthenium Award was built in the craftsman style in 1925. It has been fully renovated and now offers all of the modern conveniences needed to run today’s business. This 6,400 square foot, 2-story building features offices sized between 185 and 1,125 square feet and includes wireless internet, original hardwood floors, oil-rubbed bronze fixtures, porcelain tiled bathrooms and a fully equipped break room. Antique furniture and fixtures gracing the wide hallways and common areas to make this rental property a truly comfortable place to do business.
In the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s, the building served as a boarding house for young teachers who taught at the Fuquay Springs School (grades 1-12) just across the street. Here they devised their lesson plans, graded student papers, talked about issues of the day, and ate, slept and socialized under one roof year round. Several young teachers met their spouse here and married. Today, the wide hallways are lined with vintage pictures depicting these former educators from a bygone era, along with several testimonials about their life and times here.
Times have certainly changed, and the Teacherage has changed with them. Contact us to see the great office spaces available for lease in this historic, yet modern rental property.
