The East Raleigh-South Park Historic District developed primarily from 1865, just after the Civil War, through 1940. The neighborhood is composed of about 30 blocks and lies east and south of downtown Raleigh. The houses in this neighborhood tend to be built rather close to each other reflecting the neighborhoods working class roots. As the residence of this area progressed from primarily working class to middle class the neighborhood’s architecture followed suite. The earliest homes in this area are examples of shotguns and triple-A cottages, while the later houses are examples of Craftsman, Colonial Revival, and Neoclasscial houses.
A prominent fixture of the East Raleigh-South Park Historic district is Shaw University. Founded in 1865, Shaw University, was the first historically black college of the South.
