Morris Street, West Chapel Hill Street

The site of 353 West Main St. was (along with the entire south 'side' of Five Points) part of Seeman's Carriage Works through the 1890s-1910s. Per the 1895 Handbook of Durham: "This business is conducted by Mr. Jno. F. Seeman, and is not incorporated. The output of this enterprise consists of hand-made vehicles of every description, of which an attractive supply is constantly on display in their showroom at 'Five Points' on Main Street."
