The area is primarily residential, with houses built from about 1929 into the 1950s.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the expansion area meets Criterion C for architecture as a cohesive residential area retaining a high level of integrity and displaying a range of nationally popular styles from 1929 to 1955. It extends the district's period of significance to 1955 and links the area to the original district through street pattern, setbacks, lot sizes and landscaping. The Colonial Revival Dr. James Henry Harper House at 207 West Harper Street, designed by Leslie Boney, is described as the architectural centerpiece of the expansion area.","narrative":"Along West Harper Street in Snow Hill, a county seat in Greene County, North Carolina, stands a residential area of houses built mostly between about 1929 and 1955. The street runs parallel to Greene Street, the town's main thoroughfare, and is lined with mature trees and well-kept lots. The centerpiece is the brick Colonial Revival house at 207 West Harper Street, built in 1929 for Dr. James Henry Harper to a design by Wilmington architect Leslie Boney. Harper, the street's namesake, subdivided the land he owned after building the house, and most lots had been developed by his death in 1950. Other houses display Craftsman bungalow, Tudor Revival, Period Cottage, Minimal Traditional and Ranch designs, reflecting the styles popular in the years around World War II. The area's street layout, setbacks and integrity of most of its houses tie it to the older historic district, and its later construction dates extend the district's significance into the mid-1950s.","period_of_significance":"1929-1955","architect_builder":"Boney, Leslie (architect)","architectural_style":"Colonial Revival; Tudor Revival; Period Cottage; Craftsman Bungalow; Minimal Traditional; Ranch","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Most primary resources are contributing; one vacant lot is noted and some post-period buildings are marked noncontributing due to age.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:41.64996-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/60/7204/47720460/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/09000658.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"00001122","name":"Snow Hill Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/north-carolina/snow-hill-historic-district-00001122/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47720460","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_Hill_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q22061088"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/greene-county/snow-hill-historic-district-boundary-increase-09000658/"}
