It adds 108 contributing and 23 noncontributing resources, mostly Craftsman bungalows and Classical Revival houses from about 1900 to the mid-1920s. The text in the supplied excerpt does not include the formal significance statement.","narrative":"This amendment extends the Oakwood neighborhood in Raleigh, a residential area on the city's east side that developed on ridges sloping toward Oakwood Cemetery. The added land covers roughly fifteen blocks along North Bloodworth, North East, Elm, Watauga, Pace and East Franklin streets. It holds 87 contributing primary buildings and 21 contributing outbuildings, mostly houses built from about 1880 to the late 1930s, with the bulk dating from the turn of the century to the mid-1920s. Craftsman bungalows are the most common type, with the John E. Holland House singled out as the finest. Classical Revival houses include the Panton-Mordecai House, built about 1921. The oldest buildings are a brick Victorian house at 703 North Bloodworth, built about 1880 for a local hardware firm, and the Italianate Briggs-Argo-Aycock House, later owned by Governor C. B. Aycock and now a church. Small gabled garages are scattered through the blocks. The area is closely packed and matches the existing district in style and development.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Contractor J. E.
