1310 Hillsborough St, Raleigh, NC
60 Capacity
$500 / Event
The Brown House offers the entire first floor of one of Raleigh’s grand turn-of-the-century homes for meetings and events. The 1,600 square foot space can comfortably accommodate up to 60 people, and is conveniently located on Raleigh’s historic Hillsborough Street within walking distance of N.C. State. The restored home features a wide front porch, original fireplaces, chandeliers and crystal doorknobs, and beautiful original windows and glass throughout. Updates include central air and heat, a warming kitchen, and a 10 kilowatt solar array that provides nearly 100% of the Brown House’s electrical needs. The Brown House is a perfect space for events of all kinds, including meetings, bridal and baby showers, engagement parties, fundraisers, cocktail events, and so much more. The Brown House is a historic home once owned by the Brown family, founders of one of Raleigh’s oldest continuously-operating businesses, the Brown-Wynne Funeral Home. Built by ‘Fab’ Brown in 1917, the home was owned and lived in by the family until 1975, when it was purchased by the Adams Terry Realty Company. Adams Terry provided stewardship of the house until 2021, agreeing to a sale once the preservation and rejuvenation of the house was assured.

Recommendations

Perfect Charming Venue — An Eventective User
I hosted a birthday party at the Brown House and had a wonderful experience. Amelia was responsive, kind, and easy to work with. The house was beautiful, the rules were simple, and the booking process was super easy. Would definitely recommend and would host another event here without hesitation.
Great Venue — An Eventective User
We had a sorority formal here on Saturday, March 29 and it went perfectly! Amelia, the coordinator was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed, set up the way we wanted. The location is very convenient as well, being very close to NC State. I highly recommend and will likely be renting out this venue again.
