Carter Williams and Associates.","why_significant":"The house is nominated under Criterion C as an elegant post-and-beam Modern residence that fits its sloping lot with a one-story front and two-story rear. A low-slope asymmetrical front-gable deck roof, a recessed porch and large areas of glazing define it. It was identified in a citywide survey as one of Raleigh's significant modern houses and falls under the single-family house property type of a post-World War II modern architecture context.","narrative":"Built in 1960-61 at 1428 Canterbury Road in Raleigh, this Modernist house was designed by the firm F. Carter Williams and Associates for G. Dewey Arndt and his wife Elma. Arndt was general manager of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Association and the Farmers Cooperative Exchange. The house sits on a sloping lot, presenting one story to the street and two stories at the rear. Its structure of wood posts, steel beams and a thin tongue-and-groove wood roof deck creates open interiors beneath a low-slope front-gable roof. Large glass walls, a recessed front entry and a recessed rear porch link inside and outside. Interior finishes include terrazzo floors, walnut and mahogany paneling and white oak flooring, organized around a common seven-foot reference line. Later changes include a lower-level conversion, a garage and shop addition and updated kitchen and bath. The house was listed for its architectural merit as an example of Raleigh's postwar modern residential design, with 1961 as its period of significance.","period_of_significance":"1961","architect_builder":"F.
