2022 Historic Place Survey: Raleigh LGBTQIA+ Community

The Raleigh Historic Development Commission (RHDC) is preparing a historic context report to identify places important to LGBTQIA+ culture in Raleigh.

The report will include:

A short history of Raleigh's LGBTQIA+ communities.
A list of significant historic places (both existing and lost).
Recommendations for buildings and sites that are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.

To help us identify these places, we need to hear from you! Tell us about all the historic places and stories where LGBTQIA+ people gathered, met, celebrated, loved, and lived in Raleigh.

Many thanks to everyone who participated in our October 2021 survey. We have shared your responses with the project consultant. If you would like to share additional information, we invite you to complete this updated survey with expanded questions which is open through August 31, 2022.

Thank you for your interest in the study! If you would like to share additional information, or if you know of someone that would like to privately share information, please contact the project consultant directly. Contact information is available on the LGBTQIA+ Historic Context Study project webpage.
