North Carolina War Memorial Building Proposed in Raleigh
The North Carolina Historical Commission urges a state War Memorial Building near the capitol to group historical and cultural agencies. The planned structure would house the Historical Commission, Hall of History, Legislature reference library, state library, Library Commission, and a state art museum, with an assembly room for veterans and literary groups. The report argues the facility would memorialize past wars and reflect the state’s cultural aspirations while ensuring future office space needs and long term value.
