Paschal House, Demolished single-family residence in Raleigh, United States
Paschal House was a one-story, irregularly massed Modern Movement dwelling in Raleigh, North Carolina, built in 1950 in a Wrightian style. Its composition combined stone walls, several low-sloped gables with deep overhangs, and broad glazed wall sections. It was demolished in 2013.
Architect James W. Fitzgibbon designed this Modern Movement residence in 1950, reflecting early postwar design principles. It received National Register of Historic Places recognition in September 1994.
The house was built in 1950 for the Paschal family and stood at 3334 Alamance Drive in Raleigh. Its Wrightian design, with stone walls and deep overhanging gables, was noted in architectural circles of the region. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, and despite that listing it was torn down in 2013.
The structure was demolished in 2013 despite its protected historic status, making a site visit impossible today. This situation illustrates the ongoing challenges in preserving architectural heritage across the United States.
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, yet it was torn down in 2013, so the listing outlived the building by nearly two decades. Its stone walls and deep-overhang gables survive mainly in photographs and records.
