121 Dry Ave. House. This one-story, frame bungalow features simple Craftsman details, such as exposed rafter ends, three-over-one sash windows, and a porch supported by tapered wood posts on brick piers. Aluminum siding has been added to the exterior.
From the Friends of the Page-Walker Hotel, a local historical society:
This was the Beddingfield house. It was occupied for many years by Clarence and Sybil Beddingfield. Clarence Beddingfield was the North Carolina Assistant Secretary of Labor. Mrs. Beddingfield taught 8th grade for many years at Cary High School and was one of the world’s great teachers of English grammar. The house and garage were beautifully restored in 2006.
