It is primarily residential, with single-family houses, outbuildings, apartment buildings, small commercial buildings, a church, a school and a former firehouse.","why_significant":"The district is significant as an early-twentieth-century suburban development planned by the Glenwood Land Company from 1905, representing the city's effort to accommodate a growing middle class. It is also architecturally significant for its range of early-twentieth-century house types, construction methods and historicist styles, and it retains good integrity overall.","narrative":"Raleigh's Glenwood and Brooklyn neighborhoods were laid out in 1905 to 1907 by the Glenwood Land Company, incorporated by James H. Pou, Albert Murray and William J. Andrews as street car suburbs north and west of downtown. The district holds mainly frame houses of one, one-and-a-half and two stories, most with weatherboard or wood-shingle siding, gabled roofs and porches, along with outbuildings, apartment buildings, small commercial buildings, a church and the Richard H. Lewis School. Its houses show a range of early-twentieth-century types and styles, including Victorian-influenced vernacular forms, Craftsman bungalows and Colonial Revival work. Lots were sold from 1906 onward, and the area reflects the city's growth and its middle-class and working-class population, including many railroad employees. Its development and architecture are the basis for listing, and the period of significance runs to 1951, when Modernist and Ranch styles began to appear.","period_of_significance":"1907-1951","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Victorian, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Classical Revival, Tudor Revival, Late Gothic Revival, Bungalow/Craftsman","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Good integrity overall; 365 total resources, 198 of 242 in the original district contributing; the Brooklyn area added 123 resources, 90 contributing.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:41.15966-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/19/7186/47718619/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/02000058.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"85001672","name":"Glenwood","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/north-carolina/glenwood-85001672/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47718619","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenwood%E2%80%93Brooklyn_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5569452"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/wake-county/glenwood-brooklyn-historic-district-boundary-increase-and-decrease-02000058/"}
