Pauli Murray was raised in this house by her aunt Pauline Fitzgerald Dame and her grandparents, Robert and Cornelia Fitzgerald. Constructed on the last of the land he owned in Durham, Pauli Murray calls the house "a monument to Grandfather's courage and tenacity." Now in disrepair, what can we, as a community, imagine as its future significance and purpose?
