What Hayes Barton is built from
Raleigh's grandest interwar neighbourhood, laid out in the 1920s inside the bend of Glenwood Avenue and named after the Devon farmhouse where Walter Raleigh was born. Colonial Revival, Georgian and Tudor houses set well back along Cowper Drive, Harvey Street and Anderson Drive, with original oak and heart pine running room to room and a crawlspace under nearly all of it.
Second, third and fourth families in the same houses. The good hand-knotted work in Raleigh is largely here, much of it inherited, and much of it lying in rooms that get used for two hours on a Sunday and then closed again.
The Hayes Barton problem
The most reliable way a serious rug gets hurt in Hayes Barton is a well-meant annual appointment. A carpet crew comes for the stairs and the bedrooms, the hand-knotted rug in the dining room is lying right there, and it gets the same hot-water wand on the floor where it sits. Three things go wrong at once. Water enters a cotton foundation that has nowhere to drain, because a rug is open on both faces and eighty-year-old boards underneath absorb none of it. The rug then dries downward over days instead of hours, and as the last moisture travels up to the tips it carries dissolved lignin out of the cotton with it — which is exactly where the yellow-brown haze that appears a week later comes from. It is not soil; it is the foundation staining the pile it is holding up. And the floor spends that same week wet under a rug, against a finish that was never meant to be kept damp. All three are prevented by taking the rug out of the house first, and none of them are corrected by more of what caused them.
If that sounds like your rug, send the form and describe what you are seeing. We will tell you whether it needs the full treatment or not.
