Mendenhall Street in Greensboro, North Carolina, built in 1847 for the Reverend Sidney D. Bumpas and remodeled in 1911.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it one of the few surviving Greek Revival buildings in Greensboro. It is also tied to Frances Moore Webb Bumpas, who edited and published the Methodist-related weekly The Weekly Message from 1851 to 1872 and later helped organize women's missionary work. The house stayed in the Bumpas family until 1975.","narrative":"Built in 1847 on land bought from Greensboro College, this brick house on South Mendenhall Street was the home of Methodist minister Sidney D. Bumpas and his family. It is a three-bay, two-and-one-half-story Greek Revival building with a four-columned portico, Flemish bond variation brickwork and a Greek Revival front door. A 1911 remodeling added a southwest wing with a projecting bay, a third-floor apartment and a long shed dormer, and changed much of the interior, though the original character survives. Two frame outbuildings, a smokehouse and a carriage house, remain behind it. The house is noted as one of the few Greek Revival buildings left in Greensboro. It is also closely linked to Frances Bumpas, who after her husband's death in 1851 ran The Weekly Message, an early Methodist-related newspaper, from the house until 1872. She later helped establish women's missionary societies in the church. The house stayed in the family until 1975.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Form lists the property as occupied and in good condition.
