Raleigh Recreation: Looking for something fun to do this weekend?
Try a walking tour of the Downtown Raleigh Historical District!
Raleigh, NC offers a lot more than a great career environment, culture, parks, and recreation.
There's also a lot of history here - and the Downtown Walking Tour is a good way to get a view of some of that history.
The Labor Building in downtown Raleigh is just one of over 60 points of interest on the official Downtown Raleigh Walking Tour.
The Labor Building is stop #30 on the Downtown Raleigh Walking Tour.
The Labor Building was built in 1888, using convict labor and convict-made bricks as supervised by State Penitentiary Warden Col. William J. Hicks.
A.G. Bauer designed the Labor Building, which was planned to house the State and Supreme Court Libraries.
The NC Department of Labor offices have been in this building since the 1920s.
The Labor Building is located at 4 West Edenton Street, directly across the street from the northwest corner of Capital Square, and just a block north of the Fayetteville Street area of Downtown Raleigh.
Next time you're in downtown Raleigh, take a few minutes (or a couple of hours) and enjoy some of the 60 stops on the Downtown Raleigh Walking Tour!
