Watch the historic Ivey-Ellington House move to its new location in Cary
The Ivey-Ellington House has been on West Chatham Street for about 150 years, where it’s had a front porch view to downtown Cary happenings.
But on Feb. 20, town of Cary workers were relocating the historic home from 123 W. Chatham St. around the corner to 308 S. Academy St., which is the site of the town’s former library.
Since January, the town of Cary has been preparing the foundation for the Ivey-Ellington House relocation including moving items out of the house and construction on the new site, like trees and streetlights.
The move is part of a $51 million development agreement between the town, First Baptist Church on South Academy Street and Northwoods Associates that required the relocation of the historic property to make space for commercial, office and retail buildings and a parking deck.
