What is a Special Character Essay?

A special character essay guides the Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) design review process. It is a physical neighborhood description, noting important architectural and site features. It also describes common historic development patterns and spatial relationships. Each of Raleigh’s local historic districts has its own unique essay. To read a general history of the neighborhood, see the designation report linked above.
