A sad goodbye to one of my favorite buildings in Raleigh, the Lightner Funeral Home. This building, constructed in 1925 by one of the premier African American architects in American history, initially served as a home to Doctor Lovelace Capehart in southern Raleigh. When Calvin Lightner later entered the funeral business, he decided to purchase his old project to use as a funeral home.

Sadly, the funeral home was recently sold to a real estate development company. On the brink of receiving historic landmark status, the building was hit by a fire in August, and was damaged. While repairs would have been possible, the Duke Properties company decided that it was more economic to demolish the property, destroying the building just before it could reach its centennial.

The building was one of our stops on Raleigh's African American history tour, and was one of only three surviving Calvin Lightner projects. Now only two original Lightner buildings remain.

We at Triangle Walking Tours mourn the loss of this historic building, and urge that more be done to protect Raleigh's historic heritage.
