30 <br />Graham Building <br />118 N. Churton Street <br />Hillsborough, NC <br />762 Square feet <br />This building is almost square in design. The floor plan supports essentially four rooms with a <br />small area for a toilet and sink, and a short hall with exterior door to the rear. The entrance <br />room is the largest of all and if used as a Heritage Center, would be the room to accommodate <br />research tables and chairs. One room would contain an office. The other two rooms would be <br />the only space available for file cabinets, shelving and storage. The walls are solid and are load <br />bearing. The building cannot be reconfigured. <br />Each room has windows that let in natural light. The areas where archives are stored or viewed <br />should be protected from light by sealing the windows or shading them. <br />There are no parking spaces associated with this building, though there is a parking lot just <br />north and west of the building. <br />Assessment: <br />This building might be suitable as an Heritage Center, at least for the next five years, or longer, <br />depending on how much new material is collected. After monitoring the building for heat and <br />air fluctuations, there may be a need to do some renovations to enhance the environment for <br />storage of archival materials. However, the existing space is perceived as a vast improvement <br />over current storage space at the Orange County Museum. <br />
