09 BGW - Antebellum Medial Office/Post Civil War Residence:

Dr. Alexander F. Telfair built the original two-room block of this structure prior to 1850 when he formed a medical practice with Dr. John R. Thompson of Raleigh. According to family history, Dr. Thompson was given a walking stick by local citizens in appreciation for his service to the community as a physician during the Civil War. The façade has both Greek and Italianate fenestration reflecting the architectural tastes of the 1840s and 1870s.
