The Badger-Iredell Foundation, Inc. Beginning in 1972, the WCBA took an interest in the restoration of an early 19th Century Raleigh law office used by The Hon. George A. Badger and James Iredell. A committee was created to consider the feasibility of the restoration, and later, the restoration was approved by a unanimous vote. A nonprofit corporation was chartered on July 23, 1973, through which contributions for restoration have been solicited from time to time. The Badger-Iredell office was moved to Mordecai Square where it serves as a historical tribute to the early leaders of the Bar and community. Read more about Badger-Iredell.
