It covers portions of Alexander, Carrol, Mulberry, North and South Race, North and South Oak and Cherry streets and part of West End Avenue.","why_significant":"The form argues the area is a well-preserved collection of domestic architecture from the period when Statesville grew as an industrial town along the Southern Railway. It shows the expansion of the town's early suburban neighborhoods from about 1890 to 1952. The former Davis Hospital also helped shape the surrounding neighborhood.","narrative":"This residential neighborhood in Statesville, North Carolina, extends the Mitchell College Historic District to the west. It takes in parts of Alexander, Carrol, Mulberry, Race, Oak and Cherry streets, with 87 contributing and 31 noncontributing resources, mostly houses and small outbuildings. One-story bungalows are the most common type, alongside Queen Anne influenced cottages from around 1890, pyramidal cottages, period cottages, Minimal Traditional houses and brick Ranch houses. Several brick apartment buildings, some built to house Davis Hospital staff, also stand here, and the former hospital is the only non-residential building. Lots and houses are smaller than in the original district. The area reflects Statesville's growth as a railroad and industrial town between about 1890 and 1952. Although some houses have vinyl siding and replacement windows, the district keeps a high degree of integrity. It was recognized for its architecture and its connection to health care and medicine.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1890-1952","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Bungalow/Craftsman, Period Cottage, Minimal Traditional, Ranch Style","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The form lists current functions including single and multiple dwellings and vacant/not in use.
