Mordecai House is a historic house located in Raleigh, North Carolina. It is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the city, having been constructed in 1785. The house was built by Joel Lane, the famous "Father of Raleigh," and was originally located on his plantation. The house was eventually purchased by Moses Mordecai, a prominent businessman and politician in Raleigh, and has been known as Mordecai House ever since.

The house is a two-story brick structure with a central hall and two rooms on each side. It has a hipped roof and four chimneys. The exterior features a pedimented portico with fluted Doric columns, as well as two side porches. Inside, the first floor has four rooms and the second floor has two bedrooms.

Mordecai House is a contributing property to the Mordecai Historic Park, a National Historic Landmark District. The house is open to the public and offers tours, special events, and educational programs. It is also available as a venue for weddings and other special occasions. The house and grounds are also a popular destination for local photographers and filmmakers.

Mordecai House is an important part of Raleigh's history and one of the city's most beloved landmarks. It is a unique example of early American architecture and has been lovingly preserved, offering visitors a glimpse into the past.

Blast from the past Two-lined Leather-wing, Two-lined Cantharid - Atalantycha bilineata (syn. Ancistronycha bilineata, length 7.5 mm) Also posted at: <a href="https://bugguide.net/node/view/3274" rel="noreferrer nofollow">bugguide.net/node/view/3274</a> References - BugGuide <a href="https://bugguide.net/node/view/3114" rel="noreferrer nofollow">bugguide.net/node/view/3114</a> - Dillon and Dillon, A Manual of Common Beetles of Eastern North America (Row, Peterson, and Company, 1961), p. 264, plate 26(12) Photo taken with an early generation digital SLR, the Canon 10D (6MP sensor). If I was careful not to push the ISO, images from this camera were just fine! That Tamron macro lens was excellent--I only traded it in for a Canon later because it tended to get grit caught in the barrel as it extended. I believe this to be the first image of a living specimen of this species, at least the first one that was widely accessible. I identified it based on Dillon and Dillon's guide.
