It is also significant for architecture as a cohesive collection of small Minimal Traditional-style houses with modified Cape Cod and Ranch forms.","narrative":"Hi-Mount is a residential neighborhood of about eleven blocks in north Raleigh, North Carolina, platted in stages between 1938 and 1951. Most of its houses were built between 1940 and 1954 by a small number of builders, including George H. Wright Jr., Pine Ridge Homes, Inc., and Hi-Mount Homes, Inc. The houses are small, one-story Minimal Traditional dwellings, with some one-and-a-half-story Cape Cod-influenced forms and later minimal Ranch forms. Most are frame houses with asphalt-shingled roofs and brick or concrete-block foundations. The neighborhood was laid out in a grid with a planned park along Kimbrough Street. It is regarded as a largely intact example of a speculative postwar subdivision, built to meet the housing demand that followed World War II. The district's architecture, with its consistent form, materials and scale, is also considered a well-preserved group of Minimal Traditional homes in Raleigh.","period_of_significance":"1938-1954","architect_builder":"Wright, G.
