Construction is underway at 122 Glenwood! This first phase will include new offices for Monteith Construction on the 3rd floor, and open office space on the 2nd floor. The 1st floor will be retail space and the basement is home to Halcyon Bar & Lounge.
This utilitarian building dates back to 1912, and was constructed by former Raleigh mayor P.D. Snipes. With 3 main stories and a full basement, Snipes used the building to house the Raleigh franchise of a railroad company store. With plenty of room to spare he leased part of the space out to Garland C. Norris Company (an orange juice distributor), and during WWI uniforms were manufactured on the top 2 floors. Later in the 1970’s the building was renovated for gallery space.
The original windows have been re-opened and the space is bathed in natural light. The building has been transformed and construction has only just begun!
