Mordecai

MORDECAI HISTORIC PARK & U.S. PRESIDENT ANDREW JOHNSON’S HOME
Mordecai Place dates back to the 1700s, and its Mordecai Historic Park features the actual house where U.S. President Andrew Johnson was born.

Several other historic houses still stand, but most livable homes today date back to the 1920s and feature a wide variety of architectural styles including Colonial Revival, Craftsman, Tudor Revival, and Spanish Mission Revival, to name a few.

Today, life in Mordecai offers both the beauty of historic Raleigh and downtown walkability, with new local businesses contributing to the revival where this peaceful neighborhood blends into downtown.
