Local figure
H. D. Carter was an architect who practiced in Chapel Hill from the 1920s into the 1940s and designed many of the town's houses. He directed Civil Works Administration improvements around the Hillsborough courthouse in 1933 and 1934, when the old stone jail was torn down. In August 1934 he became supervisor of Orange County's federal relief projects, and in 1935 he designed Public Works Administration school buildings for the county.
