| Built in the 1920s, these buildings originally were occupied by Standard Oil Company, which used the space as a local distribution site. The North Street building served as Standard Oil’s offices while the West Street building was used as a warehouse. The two buildings are some of Raleigh’s rare examples of poured-in-place concrete structures.
David Allen Marble and Tile Co. bought the site in the 1940s and remained the tenant until 2003, when the company moved to its new headquarters in Southeast Raleigh. Empire Properties purchased the building in 2004 and plans to redevelop the site into a mixed-use center for restaurants and offices.
