Hogan House

1641 Martin Luther King Blvd.

The title to the Hogan House was transferred by the State Employees Credit Union to Preservation Chapel Hill (PCH) in early 2024. PCH has stopped the water intrusion, strengthened the foundation, replaced the leaking roof, repaired and painted the siding, and much more since receiving title to the House and grounds from SECU.

 

 

The house is a classic example of the late nineteenth century Piedmont farmhouse that once dotted the local landscape and represents a century-old agrarian lifestyle now vanished. The house remains but various structures on the site---barns, smokehouses, and other outbuildings are gone. Presumably built in the 1870’s as a one room log cabin, the farmhouse tells the story of several generations of Hogans and Kirklands and embodies 150 years of history, including the social and racial dynamics of Chapel Hill. Preservation Chapel Hill saved this historic structure from demolition by neglect and it is now for sale. Please feel free to view the real estate listing if you are interested in purchasing the Hogan House.
