Raleigh, NC 27605Historic character, privacy, and walkable urban living come together at 502 Tilden Street. Recognized as the William H. H. Jones House, ca. 1913, this distinctive Glenwood-Brooklyn Historic District home blends Victorian and Colonial Revival influences with the space and flexibility to meet today's lifestyle.
