Interpretive displays for Dix Park’s Gatekeepers House

The Boylan Drive entrance of the Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh, NC, features three historic stone houses: the Superintendent’s House, the Physician’s House, and the Gatekeeper’s Cottage, all built in the early 1920s. As part of the Dix Park Master Plan, rehabilitating these stone houses and their grounds will help transform the entrance into a prominent gateway for Dix Park while preserving and honoring the site’s public health era.

CGD has designed interpretive displays inside the first stone house that formerly acted as the Gate Keeper’s Cottage and is named as such to this day. It has been transformed into the park’s welcome center, a hub of park history, information, and upcoming events.
