Stone Houses at Dix Park

Thanks to a $3MM gift from SECU + a $2MM gift from the SECU Foundation, Dix Park Conservancy will be able to renovate three historic Stone Houses at Dix Park. 

Dix Park Conservancy, the City of Raleigh, SECU & the SECU Foundation broke ground on the Stone Houses on Jan 26th, 2023, and renovations are expected to be complete in December of 2023.

The Superintendent's House was built in 1923 and housed the Dorothea Dix Hospital Superintendent and his family. After renovations are completed, the Superintendent's House will serve as office space for the Dix Park Conservancy

The Physician's House served as living quarters for single, male doctors and was built in the 1920s. Once renovation is completed, the Physician's House will provide meeting and classroom space for non-profits and community groups.

The Gatekeeper's Cottage was built in 1923 and housed the Dorothea Dix Hospital Gatekeeper who secured the entrance and exit of the hospital grounds. Once renovations are completed, the Gatekeeper's Cottage will serve as a Welcome Center.
