Handwashing Stations
in Hillsborough, NC.

Residential renovations, commercial builds, and municipal events all pull from the same yards.Hillsborough is one of the oldest incorporated towns in North Carolina, chartered in 1754, and the downtown historic district has kept the colonial-era street grid intact. Pre-Revolutionary buildings, Federal-era storefronts, and nineteenth-century residential all sit on the same few blocks around Churton Street. The 1844 Old Orange County Courthouse anchors the civic side as the Orange County seat. Hillsborough has become a notable literary community over the past couple of decades, which gives the downtown blocks an independent-bookstore and small-press character rather than a strip-mall one. The Eno River runs through town with Riverwalk following the bank, and Occoneechee Mountain State Natural Area sits just west of the historic district. Residential growth has been held back deliberately by preservation rules in the historic core — most of the newer residential and mixed-use has filled in on the north edge near I-85 and south along the US-70 Bypass. Our Mebane yard sits about fifteen minutes east on I-85.
