It is presented as one of the finest examples of the style in the city's elite Eastover subdivision, which was planned for automobiles.","narrative":"Built in 1938 on a five-acre lot in Eastover, Charlotte's first automobile subdivision, the Tudor Revival residence was designed by local architect M. R. Marsh for Fritz Seifart, president of the Hudson Hosiery Company. The 6,500-square-foot house has random coursed granite walls, stuccoed and half-timbered gables, slate roofs, leaded-glass steel casement windows, and a polygonal entrance tower. Its interior includes sweet gum woodwork, exposed red oak trusses in the living room, a massive granite fireplace, and a basement recreation room with terrazzo floors and tile wainscoting. The master bathroom is covered in pastel porcelain enamel panels with a tropical theme. The landscape was laid out by Clarence Leeman in the office of Earle Sumner Draper, and a rare stand of native hardwoods remains on the north side of the parcel. The house is considered one of the finest Tudor Revival residences in Charlotte, and Marsh designed only two houses in the style.","period_of_significance":"1938","architect_builder":"Marsh, M.R.
