• HISTORIC STRUCTURE

• ARCHIVE GALLERY:
  This space conveys the feeling of the mansard roof. The attic had four smaller rooms accessible by the existing set of stairs. The window panes are not original but closely resemble that which would have been used. There were no mantles on the third floor. The one in the Archive Gallery was saved from the Blanchard House built during the same period. The Blanchard House was located across Academy Street and razed for the Cary Chamber of Commerce building. The persian rug is on permanent loan from J. Myrick Howard, Executive Director of Preservation/North Carolina.
  
  Donor Recognition: SAS Institute. SAS, sponsoring two large rooms, is the highest private donor to the Page‑Walker effort.
