GEORGE POLAND HOUSE

Per Triangle Modernist Houses:

The Dr. George W. Poland House, originally located at 3129 Arrow Road, Raleigh, above Crabtree Valley.  Over the years, the house became surrounded by commercial buildings and Crabtree Valley Mall.  Built by Frank Walser. After Poland's death in 2001, his family donated the house to Preservation North Carolina.  PNC put it on the market and imposed a buyer requirement to move the house to a suitable lot. Buyer Don DeFeo moved the house to 23 acres at 502 John Jones Road in Bahama, NC in 2002.  The move and simultaneous downstairs addition was designed by architect Ellen Cassily. Walser's son Bern was involved in the move.
