Raleigh’s Lustron House Saved!

On September 23, 2017, the house moved from its original site to 314 Haywood Street. On November 7, 2018, the house was lowered onto its new foundation. The work is financed in part by the Raleigh Historic Development Commission's revolving loan fund. Preservation North Carolina sold the property to a preservation-minded buyer with preservation covenants and the building's restoration is ongoing and nearing completion!

Video of the move is on YouTube here.
