A historic event and gallery space in downtown Raleigh.
The Brown House is a historic home once owned by the Brown family, founders of one of Raleigh’s oldest continuously-operating businesses, the Brown-Wynne Funeral Home.
Built by ‘Fab’ Brown in 1917, the home was owned and lived in by the family until 1975, when it was purchased by the Adams Terry Realty Company. Adams Terry provided stewardship of the house until 2021, agreeing to a sale once the preservation and rejuvenation of the house was assured.
Today, the house serves as a meeting annex for New City Design Group, one of Raleigh’s most venerable architecture practices. The century-old house has been refurbished and renovated to honor and display its history while also serving as an ideal gathering space.
The Brown House offers the entire first floor of one of Raleigh’s grand turn-of-the-century homes for meetings and events. The 1600 square foot space can comfortably accommodate up to 60 people, and is conveniently located on Raleigh’s historic Hillsborough Street within walking distance of N.C. State.
The restored home features a wide front porch, original fireplaces, chandeliers and crystal doorknobs, and beautiful original windows and glass throughout. Updates include central air and heart, a warming kitchen, ADA accessible restroom, and a 10 kilowatt solar array that provides nearly 100% of the Brown House’s electrical needs.
The Brown House is a perfect space for events of all kinds.
