Dixon and built by Reinecke & Dixon.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a notable example of resort architecture, combining fine materials and sound construction with informal, rustic-lodge styling when most Pinehurst estates were formal period revivals. It is also tied to second owner Francis W. Howe, who developed the adjoining Clarendon Gardens and nursery, a major Pinehurst scenic attraction.","narrative":"Built in 1929 just west of Pinehurst, this sixteen-room house was designed by Fayetteville architect Stiles S. Dixon and built by Reinecke & Dixon for John Bross Lloyd and his wife, who named it \"Anchors Aweigh.\" A central one-and-one-half-story block is flanked by one-story wings. Stained Georgia cypress weatherboards, cypress shake roofing, local Carthage stone chimneys and salvaged Charleston bricks give it a rustic, cabin-like character. At a time when new Pinehurst houses were mostly formal Colonial or Tudor Revival designs, the Lloyds chose an informal lodge style suited to their love of horses and the outdoors. After 1945 the house passed to Francis W. Howe of Buffalo, who developed the thirty-acre Clarendon Gardens and a large nursery on the surrounding land. The gardens became a major Pinehurst attraction known for azaleas, camellias and hollies. After years of vacancy, new owners began restoring the house in 1983.","period_of_significance":"1900- (specific date 1929)","architect_builder":"Stiles S.
