Historic Safety Club is revived: Renovation hoped to spark change
The Raleigh Community & Safety Club building, a Southeast Raleigh landmark that fell on hard times, has been born again thanks to an $885,000 renovation.
For decades the 8,000-square-foot, cementblock building was a community hub where people gathered for celebrations, meetings and
gospel concerts. It also was home to two charitable organizations whose members included the upper crust of the city’s African-American community. Now Passage Home, a non-profit community development corporation, has taken ownership of the building with the help of government and corporate support and plans to return it to its former glory.
