Historical landmarks like the Christ Episcopal Church also occupy the area. The church sits in the city’s Capitol Area Historic District, and is considered to be a national landmark. It is noted for its distinct bronze weather vane at the peak of the church’s steeple. Also located nearby is The Joel Lane Museum House, believed by most residents to be the “Birthplace of North Carolina’s Capital.” The home, which was at one point the property of Colonel Joel Lane, is considered a heritage site with statewide significance. The Colonel sold 1,000 acres of his land to the state in 1792.
