Fitzgerald Building - Scene 1
The Fitzgerald Building was built by Robert Fitzgerald’s brother, Richard Fitzgerald, along W Chapel Hill Street. While the building has since been covered with stucco, this picture shows part of the original brickwork sourced from the Fitzgerald’s brickmaking business.
This virtual experience of the Pauli Murray Center was made possible with support from Iron Mountain's Living Legacy initiative. In 2024, CyArk traveled to North Carolina to complete the 3D documentation of the Pauli Murray Center, collaborating closely with staff to compile audio and video interviews to be used in the experience. Special thanks to Rosita Stevens-Holsey, Dr. Anthony B. Pinn, Jesse Huddleston, Amy Waltz-Reasonover, and the Pauli Murray Center staff for lending their voices and expertise to this project.
