Selig Building, Elizabeth City 1 [4 photos in this set] This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work. The 2-story brick Selig Building, 1927, is described as Neo-Classical Revival style (or Colonial Revival as one source states) with Art Deco ornamentation. This commercial structure is located at 511-513 Main Street in downtown Eizabeth City, North Carolina. (Sources also provide circa 1925, 1927 and circa 1931 as construction dates). The building was erected for Louis Selig, a jeweler and his brother Julian, an optometrist. The Norfolk, Virginia architectural firm of Rudolf, Cook, and Van Leeuwen designed the building, which was built by local contractor Lord Byron Perry. The upper level is richly decorated with blue and yellow glazed terra-cotta; the lower level is comprised on white tile. This white tile is also used in the quoins, which edge and frame the 2nd story. The roof appears to be flat. In the cornice is a colorful course of the blue and yellow terra cotta and rondels between each tile segment. Below this, and above the central window is a concrete plate with the name "Selig". The three 1/1 sash windows on the upper level have white tile surrounds with some embellishments near the top of each. The lintels are involved with ledges that extend outward in different proportions. Below this is a course of egg-and-dart ornamentation (see the 4th image in this set). Separating the top from the street level is a decorative course with a wave-like motif of the yellow and blue terra cotta. Below this the facade the white tile forms a wide band of color above a darker color material (I don't know what it is). There are two recessed entrances and three display windows, the middle window separating the prominent arches, one above each entrance. Light that day did not permit a sharper view of the street-level part of the building. The jewelry store had a couple of owners after the Selig family, and apparently closed its doors in 2013. The Rich Company page on Facebook on May 18, 2022 describes the building as for sale.

Cluff-Pool Store 2 [This set on the Cluff-Pool Store contains 6 photos] This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work. Cluff-Pool Store is Elizabeth City's oldest commercial building still standing. The exact date of construction is unknown. Matthew Cluff bought the property in 1819 and had a general mercantile store there in 1827. By 1845 this 2-story brick structure occupied the lot. Remodeling took place circa 1858 when W. G. and William Pool operated a drug store there. The remodeling gave the store its present look, especially the distinctive Italianate features such as the round-arched sash windows. Further changes occurred in the 1890s when a few Victorian touches (rear porch) were added and in the early 20th century with the diagonal corner entrance. In 1977 (the date of the Elizabeth City Historic District nomination form for the National Register) the site, with an updated interior, still had a commercial use. The building has seen several additional uses. A local newspaper "The Democratic Pioneer" occupied the 2nd floor in the 1850s. From 1862-1882 when the Pasquotank County courthouse was burned in the Civil War, the building served as a make-shift courthouse until the present courthouse was built in 1882. Records rescued from the burning building were housed on the second level until then. In the 1890s the Masonic Lodge used the upper story. A sign on the building states the date as 1819 and there was a 1883 renovation of the store building. Cluff-Pool store has a flat roof with at least two corbeled chimneys. There are four bays on each of the four sides. External walls were stuccoed and then scored to resemble masonry blocks. The Italianate style 1/1 sash windows are in pairs and gave round arches; the sills are stone but the cap is stucco. At street level the obscured transoms are topped by a cornice with large ornamental corbels. The rear balcony (not the best image) is wood with turned balusters and posts; between posts are gently rounded ornamental spandrels. There is a shingled wooden pediment in the slightly slanted roof. In the early 20th century the plate glass display windows with aprons of green marble were added. Double-leaf wooden doors, each with a single large vertical pane is at the corner, forming a diagonal entrance. The ornamental cornice is of wood (not the best image). A leaning, single tree rising close to the roof provides the only indication of urban vegetation. The Cluff-Pool Store is a part of the Elizabeth City Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places October 18, 1977 with ID #77001007.

Matthew Cluff bought the property in 1819 and had a general mercantile store there in 1827. By 1845 this 2-story brick structure occupied the lot. Remodeling took place circa 1858 when W. G. and William Pool operated a drug store there. The remodeling gave the store its present look, especially the distinctive Italianate features such as the round-arched sash windows. Further changes occurred in the 1890s when a few Victorian touches (rear porch) were added and in the early 20th century with the diagonal corner entrance. In 1977 (the date of the Elizabeth City Historic District nomination form for the National Register) the site, with an updated interior, still had a commercial use. The building has seen several additional uses. A local newspaper "The Democratic Pioneer" occupied the 2nd floor in the 1850s. From 1862-1882 when the Pasquotank County courthouse was burned in the Civil War, the building served as a make-shift courthouse until the present courthouse was built in 1882. Records rescued from the burning building were housed on the second level until then. In the 1890s the Masonic Lodge used the upper story. A sign on the building states the date as 1819 and there was a 1883 renovation of the store building. Cluff-Pool store has a flat roof with at least two corbeled chimneys. There are four bays on each of the four sides. External walls were stuccoed and then scored to resemble masonry blocks. The Italianate style 1/1 sash windows are in pairs and gave round arches; the sills are stone but the cap is stucco. At street level the obscured transoms are topped by a cornice with large ornamental corbels. The rear balcony (not the best image) is wood with turned balusters and posts; between posts are gently rounded ornamental spandrels. There is a shingled wooden pediment in the slightly slanted roof. In the early 20th century the plate glass display windows with aprons of green marble were added. Double-leaf wooden doors, each with a single large vertical pane is at the corner, forming a diagonal entrance. The ornamental cornice is of wood (not the best image). A leaning, single tree rising close to the roof provides the only indication of urban vegetation. The Cluff-Pool Store is a part of the Elizabeth City Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places October 18, 1977 with ID #77001007.

The North Carolinian Building 5 [This set on the North Carolinian Building contains 7 photos] This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work. Originally built as a Greek Revival office building about 1859, this Elizabeth City, North Carolina (Pasquotank County) building was converted about 1880 into an Italianate style structure. Here Dr. Palemon John (c 1827-1902) published his weekly newspaper, "The North Carolinian", published from 1869 to 1902. In addition to housing a newspaper, the building has served as "a piano store, music shop, marriage chapel law offices, and as a barbershop."** It was again a law office in 2018, the date of this photo. The sign at the bottom right of the structure memorializes the first account of the Wright Brothers aeronautical efforts. Quoting from the sign which quotes from the newspaper's August 1, 1901 edition: "If report is to be credited, there is building on an unfrequented part of Carolina's coast an air-ship . . . An Ohio inventor with two companions and fellow-workmen, it is stated, have located . . . near Nags Head . . . and have been there busied for sometime in the perfection of a machine with which they expect to solve the problem of aerial navigation." The sign also shows an illustration of the building circa 1871. ** from Elizabeth City Historic District (Additional Documentation) 2021 <a href="https://www.dncr.nc.gov/nr/pk0003ad/open" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.dncr.nc.gov/nr/pk0003ad/open</a> This commercial structure is a 2-story brick building with a wooden storefront. The eave has prominent brackets which are duplicated on the lower level storefront cornices Four 1/1 sash windows on the upper level accentuate the symmetry of the structure; the window caps are molded and the sills are of stone. In the center of the street level is a single-leaf wooden door with panels and a rectangular transom with 2 vertical panes. At each side of this entrance are wood doors with a single large glass. There are variations in the transoms, a feature that might indicate a later alteration. To the side of each of the glass doors is a large 4-pane display window. On the upper level cornice and in the storefront cornice is a course of ornamentation consisting of alternating circles and diamond shapes.
