It contains 504 resources: houses, outbuildings, and a park with a gazebo.","why_significant":"The form describes the district as a well-preserved early-to-mid twentieth century residential suburb with intact examples of the major national residential architectural styles. Its curving street plan follows the local topography, and it has a unified character of similar lots, setbacks, and building materials. Craftsman is the most common style, with 133 examples.","narrative":"Roanoke Park is a compact residential neighborhood of about 107 acres southeast of Raleigh's Five Points intersection. It grew from six separate subdivisions platted between 1913 and 1926 and is tied together by connected streets, sidewalks, mature trees, tree medians, and a small park between Greenwood and Cherokee drives. Its curving streets follow the rolling Piedmont terrain instead of a rigid grid. The district holds 504 resources, mostly single-family houses and their garages and sheds, with six contributing duplexes. Styles range from Craftsman bungalows, the most numerous at 133, to Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Period Cottage, Minimal Traditional, and early Ranch houses. Frame is the most common construction, followed by brick, with some local granite, stucco, and rare concrete block. Houses are smaller and plainer than those in nearby Hayes Barton. The district is described as well preserved, with most contributing buildings retaining a high degree of integrity despite rear additions and replacement windows.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Bungalow/Craftsman, Colonial Revival, Foursquare, Minimal Traditional, Ranch","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as still a desirable residential area, with additions on about ten percent of buildings and some replacement windows; about ten percent of resources are noncontributing.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:57:54.349687-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/11/7186/47718611/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/03000389.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47718611","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roanoke_Park_Historic_District_(Raleigh,_North_Carolina)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7339794"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/wake-county/roanoke-park-historic-district-03000389/"}
