History
Fayetteville Street was the main thoroughfare south of the state capitol in the early 20th century, [ [http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/raleigh_nc_1920.jpgMap of Raleigh in 1920] ] but by the 1950s, parallel streets had become more heavily traveled. [ [http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/raleigh_nc_1951.jpgMap of Raleigh in 1951] ] In 1977, the street was closed to traffic and converted to a pedestrian mall in an attempt to revitalize the downtown area. It was returned to vehicular traffic in 2006, in a renewed, and thus far, more successful revitalization effort. In 2008, the Fayetteville Street Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
