It was designed by the firm Eubank & Caldwell for S. M. Cornett.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building is a well-preserved, uncommonly detailed example of Tudor Revival architecture in Roanoke, with original features such as a Buckingham slate roof, half timbering, stonework and ornamental courtyard ponds. It was designed by a notable local architectural firm for a prominent Roanoke entrepreneur. It is considered significant at the local level under Criterion C in architecture.","narrative":"Built in 1928 at 2049 Windsor Avenue S.W. in Roanoke, this two-story apartment building holds sixteen units arranged in a horseshoe around a landscaped courtyard, with an eight-bay garage behind it facing the alley. Eubank & Caldwell, a Roanoke architectural firm founded in 1920, designed it for S. M. Cornett. Its steep Buckingham slate roof, copper gutters, brick walls on a limestone base, stucco and half timbering, and wood double-hung windows are characteristic of Tudor Revival work. The courtyard has stone walks and walls, historic post lights, and a tiered pair of ornamental ponds with a small waterfall. Inside, original plaster walls, oak floors, brass hardware, built-in ironing boards and cast-iron bathroom fixtures survive. The building was recognized for architecture at the local level, as an unusually intact and carefully detailed example of the style, set near the Grandin Road area and built to a higher standard than neighboring houses.","period_of_significance":"1928","architect_builder":"Eubank & Caldwell (B. N. Eubank and J. Walker Caldwell)","architectural_style":"Tudor Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as multiple dwellings; the form describes restoration work on the courtyard, ponds and rear garage, and the building as largely unaltered and well preserved.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:52:02.83048-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/87/6832/41683287/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_VA/10000559.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/10000559/1cdc1ac66f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/10000559/1cdc1ac66f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:APARTMENT_BUILDING_ON_WINDSOR_AVENUE_AND_BRUNSWICK_ST._ROANOKE_CITY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jerrye &amp;amp; Roy Klotz, MD</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:APARTMENT_BUILDING_ON_WINDSOR_AVENUE_AND_BRUNSWICK_ST._ROANOKE_CITY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/41683287","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apartment_Building_on_Windsor_Avenue_and_Brunswick_St.","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16160566"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/virginia/roanoke/apartment-building-on-windsor-avenue-and-brunswick-st-10000559/"}
