Some of my past guests have studied for the Bar Exam and GRE, in the weeks prior to the examinations. Historical Data -- Originally, the B. Richard Jackson House, a/k/a the Carrier Weather Maker National Prize-winning House, the house was built in 1953 by Eduardo Catalano and his colleague, also from Argentina, Horacio Caminos (both of whom were in residence at the NCSU School of Design). They applied for and received a $5000 prize from Carrier for this design in 1953. In fact, Caminos was able to bring his family from Europe as a result of the Carrier grant. This home was built to showcase and demonstrate the value and affordability of air conditioning in the moderate price range. The magazine "Living For Young Homemakers" selected this home for its April 1954 issue. It was also featured in the Raleigh News and Observer on January 30, 1954. The Architect: Eduardo Catalano formerly taught at the Architectural Association in London until 1951. It was then that he was recruited as a Professor of Architecture by Henry Kamphoefner for the NCSU School of Design and moved to Raleigh. Although their tenure at NCSU was short-lived Catalano built two houses in Raleigh. His residence has since been demolished due to the neglect of later owners. Mine remains a rare example of the MCM bungalow. In 1996 Catalano and Caminos moved together to Boston and taught at MIT until his retirement in 1977. Buildings designed by Catalano include the US embassies in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the Julliard School of Music at New York City's Lincoln Center, and the Stratton Student Center at MIT in Cambridge MA. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Close to skiing - Ski lift privileges ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Smoking is permitted on the front patio, only. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city center - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping mall ### Things to do - Ski lift privileges - Water park - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 1,200 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104340000/104336900/104336888/w3072h2047x0y1-898a4b25.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Duke-Raleigh Hospital - Six Forks Residence North Raleigh - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.0 Wonderful 7 reviews CA $154 CA $516 total includes taxes & fees Nov 4 - Nov 5 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=104336888&PinnedHotelID=104336888&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102660000/102651500/102651435/8b6257fc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Work & Play In North Hills | Relax, Shop, & Dine North Hills - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 20 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-18&endDate=2025-10-19&selected=102651435&PinnedHotelID=102651435&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120380000/120370400/120370392/8084ed43.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### NEW!

The house itself is unique and the whole 50's mid-century modern was very cool. The down side is the home needs a bit of upkeeping/touch-ups throughout. Everything was in working order, yet some updates to furniture would make this place a 5 star. Also a big plus was being pet friendly.

Indoor and outdoor spaces were thoughtfully appointed, and the location could not be beaten: quiet neighborhood but absolutely close to everything. There was tons of info about the area provided.

Mid-century is my favorite architectual style, and having this beautiful and authentic home to enjoy was a wonderful experience. The surroundings were magical. Watching baby bunnies, birds, and chipmunks happily play in the protected area that surrounds the home was a perfect way to enjoy the floor to cealing windows. Learning the history of how the home was conceptualized and who designed it made the stay even more special. The home has a lot of original features, but that is part of the charm. The neighborhood offered many more mid-century homes and lovely streets to get lost in while enjoying the trees. Would stay here again. ##### Ana Maria E.

I had two dogs with appointments at NCS veterinarian school. The host accepts two dogs of any size or weight without an extra charge. This is almost impossible to find a rental that accepts two dogs of any weight. The host was so helpful when one of my dogs got sick while staying there. I don’t know what I would have done without her kindness and support. I total agree with her comment to me that her rental is the “Ronald McDonald house” of NCS vet school. ##### Et H.

We were close to shopping, restaurants and downtown. We enjoyed activities such as Ann and Jim Goodnight Museum Park (both indoor & outdoor art exhibits), The Drive Shack, Raleigh Market and concert at the Red Hat Amphitheater. Some of the restaurants we would recommend is Lilly's pizza, Cape Fear Restaurant, The Peddler Steak House, City BBQ (Kildaire Farm Rd, Cary), and LA Farm Bakery (NW Cary Pkwy, Cary). Thank you Ellen for being a great host. We really enjoyed the amount of indoor and outdoor space we had to spread out when we wanted to. We had everything we needed & more. The ping pong table brought back some good childhood memories for me & now my daughters say we need one. ❤️ ##### Ginger G. Stayed 5 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David M.

His innovative ideas were incorporated into this design, which was quite a departure from the typical dwelling of its time. ##### David M.
