The form also notes distinctive stone retaining walls, curving street layouts that respond to the terrain, and mid-century superblock apartment complexes. Its full statement of significance (Section 8) is not included in the text provided.","narrative":"Ardmore is a large residential neighborhood roughly three miles southwest of downtown Winston-Salem. It contains more than 2,200 properties spread over about thirteen blocks by ten, and grew from at least ten platted developments laid out between 1910 and 1924. Three large apartment complexes were added between 1947 and 1951. Houses often sit above the street on rough granite or recycled-concrete retaining walls that respond to the rolling terrain, and several streets curve to follow the hills. Bungalows make up roughly a quarter of the housing, with more than three hundred in the Craftsman style. Colonial Revival houses, about fifty Dutch Colonial Revival examples, nearly one hundred Foursquares, Period Cottages and more than five hundred Minimal Traditional houses show how tastes changed from the 1910s into the 1950s. Churches, two schools, two parks, duplexes and detached garages complete the setting. The collection of intact housing from several decades is the basis for its listing.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian: Queen Anne; Bungalow/Craftsman; Colonial Revival; Tudor Revival; Modern Movement: International Style; Mission/Spanish Colonial; Art Deco; Period Cottage; Minimal Traditional; Ranch","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as an active neighborhood with current functions matching historic ones: single and multiple dwellings, stores, churches, schools and parks.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:57:54.588934-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/52/7202/47720252/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/04000904.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/04000904/2b848ca126-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/04000904/2b848ca126-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Westover_Boulevard_in_Ardmore.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Westover_Boulevard_in_Ardmore.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47720252","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardmore_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4788201"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/forsyth-county/ardmore-historic-district-04000904/"}
