It was laid out in 1926 at the southern end of the Eastover suburb and built up mainly from 1927 into the early 1950s.","why_significant":"The available text describes an intact, well-maintained collection of mostly Colonial Revival houses, with some Tudor Revival examples, dating largely from the late 1920s through the late 1930s. Setbacks are consistent because of restrictive deed covenants, and architectural integrity is described as very good. The text points to 1951 as the end of the period of significance, but the significance statement itself is not included in the excerpt.","narrative":"Pharrsdale is a residential neighborhood about three miles south of central Charlotte, just east of the Myers Park district and at the southern end of Eastover. Laid out in 1926 as a suburb, it now lies well inside the city. Its modified grid of long, narrow lots has concrete sidewalks, curbs, mature trees and consistent setbacks required by deed covenants. The first house, a Craftsman-style home at Providence and Colville roads, was built in 1927 by developer John H. McArn. Construction paused during the Depression, resumed in 1935, and added ninety-seven houses over six years, then stopped during World War II and picked up again in 1945. Of 231 buildings, 166 contribute to the district. Colonial Revival houses make up 86 percent of the dwellings, with Tudor Revival most of the rest. Designs are restrained and likely drawn from pattern books or builders' plans. Additions are generally modest and sensitive, and integrity is very good.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Builders named in the inventory include John H.
