It extends the existing district southward and includes 49 contributing properties, most built from the turn of the century to World War I.","narrative":"Five blocks of closely packed houses on the original Raleigh street grid make up this southern extension of the Oakwood neighborhood. Most of the buildings are one- and two-story frame or brick dwellings put up between about 1840 and 1925, with the bulk dating from the turn of the century to World War I. Queen Anne and Classical Revival styles dominate, joined by a scattering of Craftsman and Colonial Revival homes. The oldest is the ca. 1840 Theophilus H. Snow House, a Greek Revival dwelling that was turned around about 1914 to face North Bloodworth Street. The Marshall-Harris-Richardson House, a Late Queen Anne residence built in 1900, was moved here in 1985 to avoid demolition. The area counts 49 contributing and five noncontributing properties. Its character matches the adjoining district's Victorian streetscape of free-standing houses on narrow streets. Most buildings remain residential, though some have become apartments or offices, and one 1930s Spanish Mission style store now serves as a restaurant.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Classical Revival, Bungalow/Craftsman, Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"Most buildings are still used as residences, though a number have been subdivided into apartments or rooms and several converted to offices.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:57:49.977915-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/45/7225/47722545/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/87002235.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47722545","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/wake-county/oakwood-historic-district-boundary-increase-ii-87002235/"}
