    This architecturally unique guesthouse is beautifully designed, with rare attention to detail. My king suite was comfortable, welcoming and lovely. The use of color, the artwork, even the music playing in the public space, serve to create a sense...

Neighborhood info

Originally constructed in 1915, “The Glenwood Grocery” served as Brooklyn Hill’s general store. The modest, two-story wood-frame structure was built in a balloon-frame style, similar to a barn with an open-span post and beam interior on the first floor. The brick pier foundation was laid over dirt and the interior was heated with coal. The second floor was used for storage and civic meeting space. John F. and Minnie Peatross owned and operated the grocery and lived nearby at 817 Brooklyn St. (present-day St. Mary’s Family Dentistry). In the late 1930’s, John Peatross left the business when he became superintendent of Raleigh’s Downtown City Market and Minnie Peatross ran the grocery until 1940 after which it briefly became ‘Lowe’s Grocery’. In 1944, the Peatross’s sold the building to Alexander and Myrtle Nordan who resided in the neighborhood. The Nordans took over the grocery business and renamed the place “The Nordan Grocery & Market” which became a local landmark. The couple continued to run the market for decades—30 years to be exact—selling "everything and anything except whiskey,” Alexander Nordan told The Raleigh Times the year after the grocery closed for good in 1974. By that time, the first story was a patchwork of apertures and the original corner entrance had long been closed up. After Alexander’s death in 1976, his wife Myrtle continued to live onsite until her death in 1996. The couple's heirs then leased out the family apartment and used the remainder of the building was shuttered for storage. In 1997, the building was sold ‘as-is’ to John Reese, an architect, and his partner, Dan Lilley, Jr., an audiophile and inventor.
