Public History students from NC State University are conducting a class project on the history of Wake Forest’s Northeast Community with a specific focus on East Juniper Avenue, Taylor Street, East Pine Avenue and Spring Street.
From now through the end of May, the students will document buildings in the area by taking photographs from the public right-of-way, researching public records and conducting interviews.
“The information compiled by the students will be incorporated into a publicly accessible online application,” said Senior Planner for Historic Preservation Michelle Michael. “We hope this will be an ongoing project to promote public awareness of the historical significance of Wake Forest’s Northeast Community.”
Anyone from the Northeast Community willing to contribute to the project by sharing information about their property is encouraged to contact Michelle Michael at 919-435-9516 or mmichael@wakeforestnc.gov.

I have noticed lots of building and rehab going on in the area. Live in Traditions, so use Juniper often. There has been some demolition, but new house going up on these lots. Also, so glad to see the rehab and historic restoration at the Ailey Young House. New roof will be a God send. Love your column and stories of NY. I grew up in little village of Schoharie NY. Thanks for the history. JK
