BOLICK HOUSE
late 1930s
Two-story frame Colonial Revival, with broken pediment entrance surround with pineapple finial, fluted pilasters and dentil moldings, eight-over-eight window sash, one-story flanking wings, exterior end brick chimney and asbestos wall shingles over the original weatherboard. Built for Mr. Bolick, head of the Western Union office in Chapel Hill. The house has been remodeled several times, resulting in extensive additions to the rear that have compromised its architectural integrity.

The house has been demolished and a new home constructed on the site.

In the 2013 survey, this was deemed a Noncontributing Building.
