Its focus is the site of the first fully staffed hospital in Kinston and Lenoir County, which began as the home of developer James A. McDaniel.","narrative":"Trianon Historic District is a compact residential neighborhood of about 9.5 acres east of downtown Kinston, North Carolina. It holds 26 houses, seven secondary buildings, mostly garages, and one site, mostly built between 1893 and 1930. The houses face an open 1.9-acre tract where the Parrott Memorial Hospital once stood. That hospital grew from the 1890s home of James A. McDaniel, who bought 300 acres in 1893, laid out lots and streets, and became the developer of Trianon and much of East Kinston. His 1904 house still stands. The district reflects Kinston's growth as a tobacco market and industrial center, when a widening middle class and workers needed housing. Its buildings include large Queen Anne and Colonial Revival residences, modest frame cottages with Classical Revival details, and Craftsman bungalows. Some houses have replacement siding or have been converted to apartments, but the area keeps the feel of a middle-income neighborhood of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.","period_of_significance":"1893-1939","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Bungalow/Craftsman","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"The hospital was demolished in the late 1970s and its tract is overgrown open land.
