There's something about @ce_rental_raleigh 's sheer white pipe & drape that creates the most magical feeling 🤍⠀
We love how this couple used it not only for a grand entrance and divider for cocktail hour, but they also added some in front of the windows to make an amazing backdrop for their ceremony too!⠀

Well, we should probably finish that history lesson from last week!⠀
⠀
By the time Empire Properties took over the building in 2006, McCrory's was no longer in business and the building was vacant. Empire took the next few years restoring it and preserving as much of it's historical features as possible. In 2011, Empire Properties was given an award by the Downtown Raleigh Alliance for their rehabilitation of the Carolina Trust Building. ⠀
⠀
⠀
And that brings us to how The Stockroom at 230 came to be. A place that is enriched with history and intention. A place that brings family and friends together for all of life's celebrations. If you are interested in hosting your wedding, social event or even corporate meeting with us, call 919.459.3219 today! ⠀

Continuing from Monday's history lesson 📖 ...⠀
⠀
McLellans owned the Five & Dime store until the 1960's. Soon after, a similar chain called McCrory's purchased the business where it continued to function as a lunch counter and store. During this time, they had segregated lunch counters which results in the famous Woolworth's Sit-In in Greensboro. In 1960, students from neighboring St. Augustine and Shaw University joined together to peacefully protest by participating in many sit-ins at the lunch counter of McCrory's.⠀
⠀
Because of these courageous individuals and their efforts, businesses integrated in Downtown Raleigh in 1964. This important piece of the Civil Rights Movement happened right on our first floor!⠀

We always talk about being a "historical venue" but do you know the history behind The Stockroom at 230?⠀
⠀
The Carolina Trust Building is home to The Stockroom at 230 and was originally built in 1902. It was actually one of the first office buildings in Downtown Raleigh. In the 1920's, the building was purchased by McLellan's Five & Dime retail stores. The first floor of the building served as the lunch counter and soda fountain but also sold inexpensive items such as toiletries, small grocery items, sewing supplies, and more. These type of stores were crucial during World Ware II and The Great Depression. The second floors were additions in 1928 that served as the store's stockroom.⠀
⠀
Come back on Wednesday for more about how The Stockroom came to be! 💙

Did you know that our chalkboard wall hasn't always been here? Yep, that's right! It was installed just a few years ago and has served as a great backdrop for all of our weddings and events ever since!

It’s the grand entrance into your reception walk down our stairs from the upper level that gets us every time!
