The Pope House Museum, located in Raleigh, North Carolina, is a historic house museum that was once home to Dr. Manassa Thomas Pope, an African American physician and civil rights leader. The museum is housed in a two-story, Victorian-style home that was built in 1901 and has been beautifully restored to its original condition.

The Pope House Museum offers visitors a glimpse into the life of a prominent African American family in the early 20th century. The museum features exhibits that showcase Dr. Pope's medical practice, his involvement in the civil rights movement, and the daily life of his family. Visitors can explore the house's original furnishings, including period pieces and family heirlooms, as well as photographs and documents that highlight the Pope family's achievements.

In addition to its historical significance, the Pope House Museum is also recognized for its architectural significance. The house is a prime example of the Queen Anne style, with its asymmetrical facade, colorful exterior, and intricate woodwork details.

The Pope House Museum is open to the public for guided tours on weekends and by appointment during the week. It is a must-see destination for anyone interested in African American history, civil rights, and Victorian architecture.

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.
