From there, we will move to our next destination: East Davie Presbyterian Church, an impressive building which served an important political role in the community while serving as the magnum opus of one of Raleigh’s most famous black architects. Finally, we will move onto Cabarrus Street, and see the former site of Dove Music Store and the Lincoln Theater.
