It sits on a landscaped, shaded lot.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is a prominent and virtually intact example of the Italian Renaissance style in domestic architecture, which was briefly popular in the 1910s and 1920s. It is the only house of its type in the early twentieth century suburb near Guilford College. It is also tied to Samuel Lee Haworth, a Guilford College religion professor and Quaker leader who lived there from 1928 to 1957.","narrative":"Built about 1925 on West Friendly Avenue in Greensboro, this two-story house is faced in tan brick over frame construction and topped with a hipped roof of red Spanish-style tiles. Deep eaves with wooden modillions, six-over-six windows, a columned entry portico with a balcony, and a tile-paved front terrace define its Italian Renaissance look. A matching brick garage stands southwest of the house. Benson Kimrey bought the lot in 1926 from the Southern Real Estate Company, but financial trouble led him to sell in 1928 to Samuel and Evelyn Haworth. Samuel Haworth taught religion at Guilford College and was a national Quaker leader. The house is considered locally significant for its architecture. It is the only Italian Renaissance style house in the early suburb beside Guilford College, and it is largely unaltered apart from the glassed-in west porch and updated bathrooms. The architect and builder are unknown. Its owners have used it as a family home since 1980.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1925","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italian Renaissance","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Used as a single dwelling.
