Does anyone have the address for the Sleepy House? I have to make a trip down to Raleigh in a few weeks and would like to try and find it.
I was also wondering if the current occupants know the history of the home?

Karen's right about the address....also it's in Durham, not Raleigh. It would probably take you around 20-25 minutes to get from Raleigh to Durham depending on traffic.
From what I understand, the owner of the house knows the history of it because they ran an article in the newspaper about it. It's split up into separate apartments now. I don't know if the current renters know the history. I'm sure a lot of the neighbors know the history now that the article ran in the paper. There was an interior fire there last year and the house was empty for awhile while it was repaired. I think people are living there again.
My advice if you check it out is to just be respectful of the people who live there. You can park in the church parking lot across the street without getting in anyone's way.

Thanks everyone. I thought it would be kind of cool to drive by and snap a photo of my own. Respect is always a top priority of mine; I would not do anything that would give Blind Melon fans a bad reputation.
I'm going down to move my brother back to Indiana. Since Raleigh is right in the same neck of the woods as Durham I figured it would be a great opportunity to build on my BM experiences. I just noticed that the band is going to be in Raleigh the next weekend. I'm bummed that timing is not going to work out for me to see them perform. I really, really hope that the Lafayette, IN show rumor is true. I want to see them every chance I get.

Hey guys! Just wanted to say I went to the sleepy house address a few years ago... They were starting to do what looked like renovations on the house but I creeped around and found the old ass address numbers laying on the front porch. Needless to say, they're hanging in my house now. Don't know if it's the same as when they lived there but they look old and decrepit as hell. Had to take em! And yes it's 926 west trinity in Durham if anyone wants to check out the area
