It contains five principal houses built between about 1897 and 1916, each with outbuildings.","why_significant":"The district is described as a distinctive cluster of late 19th and early 20th century suburban residences around a Y-shaped highway junction, known locally as \"West Monroe.\" The houses are tied to Monroe citizens prominent in commercial, industrial, political and judicial life. The form also notes architectural merit, including a Heath House designed by Charlotte architect Charles Christian Hook.","narrative":"Five substantial houses cluster where Waxhaw Road splits into North Carolina Highways 75 and 84 west of Monroe. Built between about 1897 and 1916, they include the Queen Anne style Heath House in the fork of the road, the Neo-Classical Revival Robert B. Redwine House with its tenant house, Crow's Nest, and the Prairie and Classical Revival style Edward Crow House. Each sits well back from the road among mature trees and is surrounded by barns, garages, tenant houses and other outbuildings. By the end of World War I the group was known locally as \"West Monroe.\" The houses were homes to businessmen and civic figures who were prominent in Monroe's commercial, industrial, political and judicial life, and who farmed here partly as a hobby. Charlotte architect Charles Christian Hook prepared plans for the Heath House in 1897 and had designed a house for R. B. Redwine earlier that year. The district contains 21 contributing and 5 noncontributing resources, and was recognized for its architecture and its association with these residents.","period_of_significance":"1897-1938","architect_builder":"Hook, Charles Christian; Tucker, G.
