Heck.","why_significant":"The nomination calls the houses outstanding examples of bold domestic design in a plain vernacular neighborhood. Their designer combined Second Empire massing, Eastlake ornament and Stick-style articulation, and repeated the design three times without it becoming monotonous. They also closely resemble Heck's own Heck-Andrews House.","narrative":"Three small mansard-roofed houses stand side by side on adjacent lots in northeast Raleigh, at 503 and 511 East Jones Street and 218 North East Street. Each is a one-and-one-half-story, L-shaped frame house with a wrap-around porch, a full-height mansard roof and a corner mansard tower. Details include Eastlake porch work, sawnwork window ornament, pendant cornice brackets and wood-shingled roofs. Deed research shows Colonel Jonathan M. Heck, a West Virginia businessman who moved to Raleigh about 1865, had them built between 1871 and 1875 on land he bought in 1871. All three were sold on consecutive days in April 1875. Their massing and detail resemble Heck's own Heck-Andrews House, so its architect or builders may have influenced them. The houses are valued as a distinctive Victorian group of Second Empire, Eastlake and Stick-style elements in a plain neighborhood. They remain largely original, and all are in residential use.","period_of_significance":"1871-75","architect_builder":"Colonel Jonathan M. Heck (builder/developer); architect or builder of the houses not identified, though G. S.
