Located on 424 North Blount Street in Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina, it is one of the best examples of Queen Anne style architecture still standing in Raleigh.

After Capehart's death, H. H. Crocker owned the home, which was used for apartments, until 1947. The state bought the house in 1971, and has been used as governmental office space since. In 1979, the house was moved from its former location at 403 North Wilmington Street to 424 North Blount Street.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
