It was built in 1930 for jurist William Albion Dunn.","why_significant":"The nomination argues Oakmont is an outstanding, intact Colonial Revival property and probably the work of the Wilson firm Benton and Benton (Criterion C). It also reflects the early twentieth-century growth of country clubs and automobile suburbs, seen in Greenville's development near the Greenville Country Club (Criterion A).","narrative":"Oakmont is a two-story brick Colonial Revival house on a long 2.3-acre lot near the Greenville Country Club in Pitt County, North Carolina. Built in 1930 for William Albion Dunn, a former Greenville mayor and Superior Court judge, it was probably designed by the Wilson firm of Benton and Benton. The house has a Georgian central entrance with a broken ogee pediment and pineapple finial, a double-row brick belt course, a drop-pendant cornice, and flanking porches and a sun room. Its interior keeps original woodwork, plaster cornices, wallpaper and fixtures. The grounds hold a brick garage with servants' quarters, a frame playhouse, a concrete garden bench and a bird bath, arranged in distinct areas from lawn to orchard. The property was listed for its Colonial Revival design and as an example of the country club and automobile suburb development that shaped Greenville in the 1930s. The Dunn family still owns it.","period_of_significance":"1930-1934","architect_builder":"Benton and Benton","architectural_style":"Colonial Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Remains in the Dunn family, retains its site and structural integrity, and is planned for restoration of water and storm damage.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:57:52.618868-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/13/7218/47721813/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/01001115.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47721813","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oakmont_(Greenville,_North_Carolina)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19720716"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/pitt-county/oakmont-01001115/"}
