Oberlin was first established in the 1860's. Above, typical house in Oberlin; The amphitheater at Raleigh's Little Theater built in the mid 1930's.

  

Cameron Park, my second favorite Raleigh neighborhood, is nestled between Saint Mary's School and NC State University.  Built in the early part 1900's, it is probably my favorite place to walk.  The houses are built on small lots with big trees.  Above, Broughton High School, built in 1929; and a typical house in Cameron Park.

     

Houses in Cameron Park; Cameron Village.  The first shopping center built in Raleigh opened in 1949.  It is centered between Oberlin and Cameron Park. The center still thrives today but was remodeled with blue awnings at some time.  I know the original facade is under there somewhere.
