I visited the Mordecai House on Sunday afternoon after the Con was over. This is the oldest house in Raleigh still standing on its original site. The house stared in 1785 as two rooms with a small loft. In 1826 four new room were added. There are still two original building on site, a kitchen garden with heritage plants, and several other historic building that have been moved to the site. One is the birthplace of Andrew Johnson.
The city of Raleigh now owns the house and the grounds.
