Durham, NC, home of Brightleaf Square, formerly a tobacco factory
By Norma Jaeger Hopcraft
I visit my offspring in North Carolina as often as I can, especially since there is a bouncing baby boy involved.
The men of the family, in plaid.
We visited Brightleaf Square in Durham. Please note the excellent brickwork details, especially under the eaves and above the windows.
Inside, a spectacular staircase. How would you like to climb this every day to go to your studio?
Tucked under the staircase is the romantic entry to a restaurant.
The windows have their original shutters, which show some signs of wear and tear.
I'd like to look out of my studio at this beautiful tree with bright red berries.
Brightleaf still has all of its historic shutters. How about you? Do you enjoy American historic architecture? Comment below!
