The Hawkins-Hartness House was constructed along with many other grand mansions on North Blount Street in downtown Raleigh during the late 19th Century, when the street was a fashionable address and home to many of North Carolina's political and economic elite. Constructed in 1881, the Eastlake-style house has a brick veneer exterior and a central tower that balances the rest of the house around it. The house was originally home to Dr. Alexander Hawkins, a resident of Florida, lived in the house until 1922. The most prominent resident of the house was James A Hartness, who was the North Carolina Secretary of State during the beginning of the Great Depression. Since 1969, the house has been home to state offices, and is now home to the office of the Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina.
