The Fuquay Springs Teacherage is a two-story Craftsman style building constructed as a private residence in 1925 in Fuquay Varina. In 1947, the Wake County Board of Education bought it and operated it as a teacherage until 1968. It is one of only six known teacherages in Wake County, and it exemplifies housing provided for teachers as an integral part of school consolidation in the early to mid-20th century.
