It sits just inside the northern edge of the Fisher Park neighborhood.","why_significant":"The house combines Tudor Revival and bungalow styles in a distinctive granite-veneer design with chocolate-colored mortar. It is tied to the growth of Greensboro and Fisher Park, its first planned suburb. It is also linked to John Marion Galloway, reported to be the world's largest grower of bright leaf tobacco, and to architect Harry Barton and stonemason Andrew Leopold Schlosser.","narrative":"Built in 1919 at 1007 North Elm Street, this granite house in Greensboro blends Tudor Revival and bungalow design. Architect Harry Barton gave it a random-coursed stone veneer, half-timbered gables, gabled dormers, a red tile roof and unusual chocolate-colored mortar. The stonework is thought to be the work of master stonemason Andrew Leopold Schlosser. Inside, a central foyer with fluted pilasters, parquet floors and acanthus motifs leads to paneled rooms, a library with leaded glass bookcases, and an attic ballroom. It was built for John Marion Galloway, a tobacco grower reported to be the largest in the world and a supporter of the Co-operative Tobacco Marketing Association. After his death in 1922, his widow converted the house into apartments, and it became a fashionable rental. The house lies in Fisher Park, Greensboro's first planned suburb, on a street once nicknamed the Gold Coast. It was vacant and being renovated when listed.","period_of_significance":"1919","architect_builder":"Harry Barton","architectural_style":"Tudor Revival and bungalow (eclectic exterior); interior eclectic, predominantly Colonial Revival","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"Vacant and unoccupied at the time of nomination, with renovation in progress; the new owners planned to lease it as office suites.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:58:55.902928-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/84/7204/47720484/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/83001886.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001886/d32ba7a585-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001886/d32ba7a585-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Rhpotter","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Galloway_Home_in_Fall.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Rhpotter</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:Galloway_Home_in_Fall.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"91002006","name":"Fisher Park Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/north-carolina/fisher-park-historic-district-91002006/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47720484","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Marion_Galloway_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19461894"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/guilford-county/galloway-john-marion-house-83001886/"}
