f. <br /> DCF En ineenn <br /> g g� Inc.. ., <br /> September 15, 1995 95055 <br /> Hillsborough Historical Society <br /> c/o Mr. George Horton <br /> Telesis Construction Management, Inc. <br /> 4500 Schley Road <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> RE: Condition Assessment <br /> Cadwalader Jones Law Office <br /> 131 Court Street <br /> Hillsborough, North Carolina <br /> Dear Mr. Horton: <br /> The purpose of this report is to provide a condition assessment of the Cadwalader <br /> Jones Law Office in Hillsborough. <br /> SITE INSPECTION: <br /> This report is based, in part on our April 10, 1995, site visit where we met with Todd <br /> Dickinson, John Kennedy and Anne Beere. We conducted a walk-through inspection, <br /> verifying some basic dimensions, but performing no tests. Later, Todd Dickinson <br /> drilled several holes at the base of the wall, for exploratory purposes. <br /> HISTORY: <br /> The law office was built prior to 1839 according to the description in the historic <br /> district nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The gabled roof, one <br /> story, brick Federal style building has been used as a dwelling, sleeping place and <br /> office. <br /> DESCRIPTION: <br /> The site, bounded by West Mar ga r et La n e and Court Street is across from the Orange <br /> County Court House. The site is cut by West Margaret Lane which, being much lower <br /> in grade, necessitated that a foundation wall be installed to support the south side of <br /> the building. Apparently in the 1970's the road surface was lowered even more, <br /> requiring that a concrete containment wall be installed at the base of the wall.
