It covers the original section of a development platted on July 10, 1923, and holds 76 contributing and 27 noncontributing houses and outbuildings, plus nine vacant lots. Its landscape, probably designed by Earle Sumner Draper, follows the Olmstedian approach, with curving streets, mature trees, triangular traffic medians and a public open space where Druid Hills Avenue, Kimberly Avenue and Norwood Place meet. Most houses date from the mid-1920s to the 1940s. Craftsman Bungalows, Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival houses predominate, with single examples of Spanish Colonial Revival, Italian Renaissance Revival, Dutch Colonial Revival, Spanish Eclectic and other styles. The district is notable for its many fine Tudor Revival houses, more than in other neighborhoods of a similar period. The oldest building is the Leander Justice House, an I-house from about the 1910s that predates the neighborhood. Later plats of the development were never built and are excluded.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Landscape probably designed by Earle Sumner Draper; developer Hendersonville Real Estate Company","architectural_style":"Bungalow, Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Houses are mostly in good condition, with some in fair or poor condition; the district includes nine vacant lots and remains largely residential, with at least one house used as a store.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:57:54.465835-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/1/7180/47718001/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/00000989.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47718001","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druid_Hills_Historic_District_(Hendersonville,_North_Carolina)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19461409"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/henderson-county/druid-hills-historic-district-00000989/"}
