About the Ivey Ellington:  
An example from the late nineteenth century, the Ivey-Ellington House is a rare example of Gothic Revival cottage architecture in Wake County, North Carolina and is designated as a Local Historic Landmark. Few examples of the Gothic Revival style appear in the county, most of them religious structures. Located near the former Raleigh and Chatham Railroad and constructed in the 1870s, the Ivey-Ellington House demonstrates the diffusion of styles and ideas from urban to rural areas. It exemplifies national trends in housing reform and the popularity of architectural pattern books in the late nineteenth century.

The Ivey-Ellington House opened in 2025 after a meticulous two year restoration by the Town of Cary. Over the years, the Friends of the Page-Walker advocated for the preservation of the Ivey-Ellington House via written communications, meetings with Town staff, speaking before Town Council, collaborating with other organizations, and raising public awareness. In November 2011, the Town of Cary recognized the importance of preserving this property and acquired it, an important step toward securing its future. Its preservation ensures that future generations can appreciate this piece of North Carolina’s architectural heritage.
