The train station was essential to the growth of Rocky Mount.

113 Hammond Street

The train station is important to me because where I grew up I heard a train everyday so to be able to relate that everyday

experience with an iconic part of Rocky Mount is really cool to me.

The fire station supplied what was needed to save many home and lives in house and other

fires.

404 South Church Street

This fire station, as well as all others, is important to me because it represents the heroic work that firefighters do

everyday which is such an inspiration to me.

The MacHaven House was built in 1910 by J. W. Hines who substantially dedicated time and money for the greater good

of Rocky Mount.

306 South Grace Street

I think the MacHaven House is one of the most beautiful pieces of architecture in all of Rocky Mount. Its Greek Revival style is what

appeals most to me.

Falls Road is historic because it portrays how beautiful Rocky Mount is through its historic architecture.

Falls Road

Every Tuesday evening I have the privilege of getting to drive down Falls Road. I absolutely love it because I get to see all of the beautiful old houses which were like mansions when

they were first built.
