Heck-Lee, Heck-Wynne, and Heck-Pool Houses

The Heck-Lee, Heck-Wynne, and Heck-Pool Houses are three historic homes located in the charming Historic Oakwood neighborhood of Raleigh, North Carolina. Constructed between 1871 and 1875, these 1+1⁄2-story, L-shaped residences showcase the elegant Second Empire architectural style, featuring distinctive elements such as a full-height mansard roof, a 2+1⁄2-story corner mansard tower, and an inviting Eastlake movement wrap-around porch. Originally built with separate kitchens, these homes have been thoughtfully connected to their main structures through later additions. Recognized for their historical significance, they were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, making them a noteworthy destination for tourists and researchers interested in architectural history and preservation.
