The district is composed mainly of Craftsman bungalows with some Ranch houses built from about 1910 through 1953.","why_significant":"The district is argued to be significant for its association with the community development of Hendersonville during the 1920s boom and again in the late 1940s to early 1950s, when it provided housing for primarily middle-class and working-class families near nearby industry. It is also argued to be significant as a cohesive collection of Craftsman bungalows and Ranch houses that retains a high degree of architectural integrity.","narrative":"Cold Spring Park is a residential neighborhood of about fourteen acres on a grid of streets north of downtown Hendersonville, North Carolina. Its houses were built on lots platted in 1921 from an earlier 1910 subdivision called Wheeler Park, mostly during the 1920s and again in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The majority are one-story Craftsman bungalows, typically with exposed rafter ends, knee braces, and front porches on brick piers, and the district also includes Ranch houses from the 1950s. Sanborn maps and city directories from the 1930s show that many residents were working-class families employed at nearby industries, including a cord braiding plant, a Coca-Cola bottling plant, and the Southern Railway. The district is significant for documenting this neighborhood's role in the city's housing boom, and for its collection of bungalows that retain much of their original form. Stone retaining walls and field stone features give the hillside streets a distinctive character.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1910-1953","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Craftsman bungalow; Ranch; Colonial Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Most buildings are in residential use; two vacant lots are within the district.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:42.116503-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/89/7179/47717989/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/08001291.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08001291/08df12a07f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08001291/08df12a07f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"JERRYE &amp; ROY KLOTZ, M.D.","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:COLD_SPRING_PARK_HISTORIC_DISTRICT,_HENDERSONVILLE,_HENDERSON_COUNTY,_NC.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">JERRYE &amp;amp; ROY KLOTZ, M.D.</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:COLD_SPRING_PARK_HISTORIC_DISTRICT,_HENDERSONVILLE,_HENDERSON_COUNTY,_NC.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47717989","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_Spring_Park_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19461075"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/henderson-county/cold-spring-park-historic-district-08001291/"}
