	Panoramic photograph of Parrish Street in Durham This panoramic view of Parrish Street (circa 1926) features the six-story headquarters of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, a company established by black entrepreneurs, John Merrick, Dr. Aaron M. Moore, and Charles Clinton Spaulding. The firm's headquarters (as depicted in this image) was designed by Durham architects Rose and Rose and erected in 1921. Five years later, the building, located at 114-116 Parrish Street, housed the Mechanics and Farmers Bank, North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, Mutual Building & Loan Association, and the Merrick-McDougald-Wilson Company. After North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company moved to its new headquarters on Chapel Hill Street in 1965, the old headquarters on Parrish Street was renamed the Mechanics & Farmers Bank building. The right panel of this photograph features the Durham County Courthouse (erected in 1916) and the Union Depot, both designed by Milburn and Heister Company, architects.
