Hanes, president of Wachovia Bank and Trust Company and a Marshall Plan official, with statewide significance in economics. It also argues the house meets Criterion C in landscape architecture for the garden designed by Ellen Biddle Shipman, one of few of her Winston-Salem gardens that survive largely intact.","narrative":"Built in 1926-1927 on North Stratford Road in Winston-Salem, this two-and-a-half-story brick house was designed by Philadelphia architect Charles Barton Keen in the Georgian Revival style. It has a symmetrical five-bay facade, a slate roof with a modillion cornice, and a central entrance with a leaded-glass transom. Behind the house, a two-level formal garden designed in 1937 by New York landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman includes two pools and a brick and lattice garden house. The house is significant for its association with Robert M. Hanes, who served as president of Wachovia Bank and Trust Company from 1931 for twenty-five years. Hanes later led a Marshall Plan economic mission in West Germany and was a guiding force in the early development of Research Triangle Park. The garden is regarded as a fine example of Shipman's design approach, with an axial layout, pools, and secluded seating.","period_of_significance":"1927 - 1959","architect_builder":"Keen, Charles Barton, architect; Shipman, Ellen Biddle, landscape architect","architectural_style":"Colonial Revival","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:41.921294-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/66/7202/47720266/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/12000573.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/12000573/552cf0d61c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/12000573/552cf0d61c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Jerrye &amp; Roy Klotz, MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ROBERT_M._HANES_HOUSE,_FORSYTH_COUNTY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jerrye &amp;amp; Roy Klotz, MD</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ROBERT_M._HANES_HOUSE,_FORSYTH_COUNTY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47720266","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_M._Hanes_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19462162"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/forsyth-county/hanes-robert-m-house-12000573/"}
