Geocache Description:


This one is easy cheesy! First person there gets a 90% pure silver coin! Once you have found this cach, don't forget to walk to the corner and check out the amazing Mansions. Heck-Andrews House (1870) 309 North Blount Street Architect G.S.H. Appleget designed this house for industrialist Jonathon McGee Heck. The Second Empire style house is capped by a mansard roof and a dramatic central tower. The patterned slate and ornate brackets, window surrounds, and porch posts makes this one of Raleigh's most distinctive Victorian houses. Hawkins-Hartness House (1882) 310 North Blount Street According to tradition, this house was built as a surprise gift by Dr. William J. Hawkins for his brother and sister-in-law, Dr. and Mrs. Alexander B. Hawkins. Mrs. Hawkins had the 92-foot Eastlake verandah added to soften the towering brick façade. This is now the Lt. Governer’s Mansion.
