Tenant houses are historic architectural and cultural artifacts presenting a glimpse into the lives of tenant farmers in the early 20th century. These historic homes have been disappearing from our landscape primarily due to development and the Alexander Tenant House almost suffered the same fate!

After intervention by NC State historic officials, it was mandated by their Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that the developer relocate and restore the exterior of this humble structure. Although the developer moved the house to a corner parcel of the development beneath a shady grove of historic oak trees and continued to pledge their support, there was no additional progress due to the developers' financial woes.

As of November 2025, the Alexander Farm site has a new owner and new site plans and reorganization are in process. The new owners are committed to the terms of the MOA and have met with PMI and HEARTS representatives to collaborate on restoration plans and fundraising to support the restoration of Alexander Tenant House.

Your financial support of HEARTS Collaborative's Save & Share the Alexander Farms Tenant House fundraising campaign will ensure invested parties know our community is dedicated to the preservation and restoration of this historic site for generations to come.
