It qualifies under Criterion A as a small resort community and under Criterion C for its resort architecture, including shingled Queen Anne cottages, Colonial Revival houses and bungalows.","narrative":"Lakeview is a small resort village on the north and east shores of Crystal Lake, a fifty-acre artificial lake in southeastern Moore County. In 1903 Boston entrepreneur Harvey Holleman and turpentine businessman Percy Gardner formed the Lakeview Townsite Company, enlarged an old mill pond into the lake, and laid out house lots and a hotel site. Winter visitors, mostly from New York and New England, built cottages for the mild weather, boating, fishing and swimming. The district holds shingled Queen Anne cottages, Colonial Revival houses, bungalows, a Dutch Colonial Revival house, and a church built in 1907, along with docks, a dam and a railroad line. Three hotels stood here between about 1903 and 1983, and the 1923 Lakeview Inn was known for its summer dances. The district was listed because it remains the county's only small turn-of-the-century resort that keeps its historic character, and because of its resort architecture from 1903 to 1940.","period_of_significance":"1903-1940","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne, Neoclassical Revival, Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial Revival, Craftsman","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Still used for single dwellings and religious purposes.
