Regarding Chabad House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination for the Cary Historic District:
115 W. Park St. House. This very simple period cottage is one-and-a-half stories tall and covered with dark red brick veneer. The house features simple Tudor Revival influence in its arched entry porch, multi-gable roof, and exterior-end chimney with a single shoulder. Windows are six-over-one sash.
From the Friends of the Page-Walker Hotel, a local historical society:
Unlike most historic houses, this house was not named for a person or family. The homeowners chose the name “Chabad” when the historic plaque was placed at the home. “Chabad” is associated with Judaism. In 2011, this house was expanded, although the original structure remained largely intact and the additions are compatible with the original. Although the Friends are not aware of any official change in National Register of Historic Places designation, it is unclear whether or not this structure would still qualify as a contributing structure to the Town Center Historic District if it were re-evaluated.
