It is tied to Goldsboro's prominent Borden family and is one of six surviving Borden-built houses on its block. Its grounds also hold a hackberry recognized as the largest in the state.","narrative":"Built in 1922 at 310 West Walnut Street in Goldsboro, this brick house was designed by local architect John David Gullett and constructed by contractor J.O. Jones for Harry Fitzhugh Lee, a power company manager, and his wife Julia Borden Lee. Its green tile gambrel roof, bellcast eaves, five-bay facade and classical entrance hood give it a Dutch Colonial Revival character. A library wing and a two-story garage, both by architect A.J. Maxwell, were added in 1939. The house sits on two lots given to Mrs. Lee by her parents, once part of the Arnold Borden farm, and it is one of six Borden family houses on its block. Formal gardens laid out by a Richmond landscape architect surround it, including a hackberry recognized as the largest in North Carolina. The house was listed for its architecture, its Borden family connection, and its role in the neighborhood's early twentieth-century development.","period_of_significance":"1922","architect_builder":"John David Gullett (architect); J.O.
