The Free Church of the Good Shepherd, a one-story board-and-batten Carpenter Gothic building, was planned by the Reverend M. Oertel as the original home of the Church of the Good Shepherd, whose members left Christ Church in opposition to the selling of pews. The chapel, constructed in 1874 on HIllsborough Street, was moved toward Morgan Street in 1914 to make way for the current large stone sanctuary built in sections, with the most recent segment, a family life center, being completed around 2007. Planning for the family life center threatened the chapel with demolition, and in 2006 it was moved to its current location by Empire Properties, rehabilitated, and placed into adaptive use as a reception/event facility. The bulding is listed in the National Register; the nomination (with a pair of photos) can be found here: http://www.hpo.ncdcr.gov/nr/WA4817.pdf

The property is also designated as a Raleigh Historic Landmark.
