Venable Tobacco Company Warehouse

The Venable Tobacco Company Warehouse, located in Durham, North Carolina, is a historic site that showcases early 20th-century tobacco storage practices. Built in 1905 and expanded in the 1910s, this two-story brick structure exemplifies 'slow burn' masonry and wood construction techniques. It stands as a remnant of a larger tobacco processing complex, alongside the Venable Tobacco Company Prizery and Receiving Room. Recognized for its historical significance, the warehouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, making it an interesting destination for tourists and researchers interested in industrial history and architecture.
