333 Fayetteville Street, Commercial office building in downtown Raleigh, United States.
333 Fayetteville Street is a 15-story office building in downtown Raleigh with a facade of dark glass and black marble. Its exterior appears very open and modern because of the large ratio of glass panels to solid structure.
The building was constructed in 1965 by the architecture firm Emery Roth & Sons and replaced the former Beaux-Arts City Hall. This shift from classical to modern architecture marked an important turning point in Raleigh's urban development.
The building shows how Raleigh's business district became more modern in the 1960s and replaced older structures. Its dark facade and large windows still define the city's appearance today and reflect the changes of that era.
Access to the building is easy from Fayetteville Street, which runs through downtown. Its central location makes it convenient for visitors to view the exterior and explore the surrounding business district.
A special moment occurred in 1967 when a 50-foot Christmas tree was lowered by helicopter onto the building's roof. North Carolina's governor illuminated the tree, creating a memorable sight for the city.
