National Register of Historic Places - Leonidas R. Wyatt House

Statement of Significance: The Leonidas R. Wyatt House is an Italianate style dwelling built in 1881 to 1882. It is significant under Criterion C as one of the relatively few remaining, well-preserved examples of the Italianate in Raleigh and as one of the very few remaining examples of the work of local master-builder Thomas Briggs. A search of Briggs' archival records has uncovered detailed accounts for the construction of this house, which is particularly distinguished by its ornate Victorian interior. The house was built for Leonidas R. Wyatt, owner and operator of the Carolina Garage until his death in 1918, and remained occupied by his widow and daughter until 1986. The Wyatt House has deteriorated somewhat in recent years because of neglect and in June 1988 it was moved approximately six blocks to its current location at 107 S. Bloodworth St. in order to save it from demolition. In spite of these developments, the house remains eligible for listing in the National Register under Criteria Consideration B because its original design, materials and workmanship survive almost virtually intact and its new site is very similar in character to the original.
