Wilson Daily Times, 26 June 1948.

Darden and Sons Funeral Homes moved into temporary space while they completed their iconic faux-Tudor building in the 600 block of East Nash Street. The location? Founder Charles H. Darden’s old “home place” on Pender Street. That house has long been demolished, but appears on a 1940 aerial photograph of the area.

(1) is First Baptist Church; (2) is Saint John A.M.E. Zion; and the old Darden house is indicated with an arrow.
