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.)

help. what was the name of the modernist house in
raleigh that was abandoned and falling down? it may
have already been demolished. it was on a wooded lot
and the roof had caved in. i think it was designed by
some ncsu designo in the 40s or 50s, maybe that polish
guy who designed dorton arena? there was a really nice
website devoted to finding a preservationist for the
house.

there's a matsumoto house in chapel hill off country
club that's practically ready to fall over.

It's the Catalano House (no longer) located on Catalano Drive off of Ridge Road.
