Preservation NC would want to know about any opportunities to preserve 
more 50s-era NC Design School houses, since they're feeling kinda shitty 
about the demise of the Catalano house: http://www.presnc.org/

Did you see the article in Dwell about the moving of the Raleigh 
Matsumoto house to Bahama?

(not online, annoyingly)

& actually, you should snap some photos of the one in Chapel Hill & 
email them to Dwell.  http://www.dwellmag.com

Or contact Nathan Wieler -- He'd probably be interested:

(He's the owner (unless he's managed to sell it already - I heard it was 
on the market) of the first Dwell Home, out near Pittsboro. He's now in 
business selling similarly-modernist prefab homes.)
