The Lodge at Cypress Manor, 1040 Buck Jones Rd, Raleigh, NC 27606, US

HistoryNorris House was built in 1879 as a wedding gift for Cornelia Alice Norris and Matthew Tyson Norris. Once a jewel on downtown Raleigh's historic North Blount Street, Norris House hosted many a fashionable event in her heyday. Over the years, renovations and expansions of the home were not always kind. Later owners converted the home into a boarding house, completely removing her original Italianate front elevation. Much of the original charm inside Norris House was removed as well, including decorative trim and all but one fireplace. In the 1970s, the State of North Carolina acquired the house and converted it to an office building. The State Bureau of Investigation called Norris House home for a period, as did the State Office of Archaeology. Eventually, Norris House sat vacant and fell into disrepair. Restoration efforts began in 2016 and concluded in May 2018.SpecialtiesIdeally located in downtown Raleigh on historic North Blount Street, Norris House is the perfect place for private special events, such as, corporate events, rehearsal dinners, intimate weddings, receptions, cocktail hours, showers, engagement parties, etc. Our 2018 restoration blends all the character of a historic setting with modern technology.
