The houses are mostly one-story frame Craftsman bungalows built in the 1920s, with one Queen Anne cottage dating from 1899.","why_significant":"The nomination argues that the area is part of Charlotte's first streetcar suburb, laid out in the original 1891 Dilworth plan, and that it is significant for community planning and development. It also argues that the Queen Anne-style house and the group of Craftsman bungalows are significant for architecture, with the bungalows representing the 1920s building boom and the speculative work of developer Paul R. Younts.","narrative":"Eighteen houses and five garages on the 2000 blocks of Lyndhurst and Euclid Avenues in Charlotte form a boundary increase to the Dilworth Historic District. The area was platted in the original 1891 grid for Charlotte's first streetcar suburb but remained vacant until the 1920s. Developer Paul Reid Younts, operating as Paul R. Younts, Inc., built most of the Lyndhurst Avenue houses on speculation between 1923 and 1927, and permits survive for several of them. The block is notable for its cohesive run of one-story Craftsman bungalows, with paired four-over-one windows, knee braces and porch supports of wood, brick or rubblestone. The Helms-Bell House at 2021 Euclid Avenue is a one-and-one-half-story Queen Anne cottage dating from 1899, moved to the site from a nearby lot. It is regarded as a rare surviving example of its type in Charlotte, where such houses are found in quantity only in Dilworth.","period_of_significance":"1899-1941","architect_builder":"Paul Reid Younts (developer and builder of Lyndhurst Avenue houses); Charles Christian Hook (attributed for Helms-Bell House)","architectural_style":"Queen Anne; Craftsman bungalow","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:42.502105-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/0/7213/47721300/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/00001495.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"87000610","name":"Dilworth Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/north-carolina/dilworth-historic-district-87000610/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47721300","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/mecklenburg-county/dilworth-historic-district-boundary-increase-00001495/"}
