Description: The Hawkins-Hartness House was constructed along with many other grand mansions on North Blount Street in downtown Raleigh during the late 19th Century, when the street was a fashionable address and home to many of North Carolina's political and economic elite. Constructed in 1881, the Eastlake-style house has a brick veneer exterior and a central tower that balances the rest of the house around it. The house was originally home to Dr. Alexander Hawkins, a resident of Florida, lived in the house until 1922. The most prominent resident of the house was James A Hartness, who was the North Carolina Secretary of State during the beginning of the Great Depression.
