Emery Roth & Sons.

Architectural historians consider the office building at 333 Fayetteville Street, Raleigh, North Carolina to be a classic example of mid-twentieth century modernism in the state. The building was designed in 1963 by the architectural firm Emery Roth and Sons, with assistance by local architect G. Milton Small, Jr. Emery Roth and Sons designed a large number of skyscrapers in New York. Small was prominent in designing modern buildings in North Carolina. Construction on the building was completed in 1965. It was originally known as the BB&T Building after its first tenant. This tenant later moved out. The building's original owner was John McCarthy. The Raleigh Development Company acquired it in the years shortly after 2000.
