Built in 1931 for the family of James B. Dyer, a tobacco executive.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is significant under Criterion C for architecture as one of two Winston-Salem commissions, and the only residence in North Carolina, of the New York firm Mayers, Murray and Phillip. Its austere, rough-cut-stone Tudor Revival design is described as distinct from neighboring Neoclassical and Georgian Revival houses and as reflecting the social status of its owner.","narrative":"Rough-cut stone walls and a slate roof define this Tudor Revival house at 1015 West Kent Road in Winston-Salem, completed in 1931 for the family of James B. Dyer, a director in the leaf department of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. The house sits on a 2.37-acre lot at the entrance to Reynolda Park, a subdivision laid out by Thomas Warren Sears. Its design came from the New York firm Mayers, Murray and Phillip, successors to Bertram Goodhue's office. The nomination treats it as the firm's only North Carolina residence and one of only two local commissions. Interior features include a living room with a limestone fireplace surround, a trompe l'oeil mural by Armand d'Navarre, and original oak floors and woodwork. Its austere stone massing sets it apart from the Neoclassical and Georgian Revival houses nearby. The house is listed for its architecture under Criterion C.","period_of_significance":"1931","architect_builder":"Mayers, Murray and Phillip (architects); Fogle Brothers Company (builder)","architectural_style":"Tudor Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:41.305575-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/79/7201/47720179/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/06000227.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/06000227/7e180cd097-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/06000227/7e180cd097-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:James_B._and_Diana_M._Dyer_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:James_B._and_Diana_M._Dyer_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47720179","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_B._and_Diana_M._Dyer_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19461460"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/forsyth-county/dyer-james-b-and-diana-m-house-06000227/"}
