The buildings date from about 1900 to 1930.","why_significant":"The district is a relatively unaltered streetscape of an early twentieth century neighborhood. It holds good examples of late Victorian/Italianate, Neoclassical/Colonial Revival and Bungalow styles. It was home to prominent Kernersville citizens in banking and furniture manufacturing, and it ranks second only to the South Main Street Historic District for intact, diverse styles.","narrative":"North Cherry Street's 100 block in Kernersville holds a small cluster of six houses and four outbuildings built between about 1900 and 1930. Commercial and medical development at both ends and behind the east side sets the tree-shaded block apart. The houses show the range of styles popular in those decades: the Italianate-influenced Totten-Goslen House, the Neoclassical/Colonial Revival Fulp and Stanley houses, the Coastal Cottage-inspired Beard House, and the brick Morris Bungalow. The George Virgil Fulp House, built about 1915 for a banker and furniture manufacturer, has one of the most elegant interiors in town, with French doors, a sweeping stair and mahogany dining room paneling. Residents were successful businessmen, including furniture salesmen and manufacturers, and the block reflects Kernersville's growth in the three decades before the Depression. The district was listed for its architecture and its link to the town's social history.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1900-1930","architect_builder":"Unknown/various; the George Virgil Fulp House was built by Yancey Albert with Sherman Nelson as carpenter","architectural_style":"Italianate; 19th and 20th Century Revivals; Bungalow/Craftsman","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The houses are mostly in residential use.
