It holds 339 contributing resources, mostly houses from the 1870s through the 1930s.","why_significant":"The district is one of Greensboro's earliest suburbs and keeps a wide range of house forms and styles, from Italianate and Queen Anne dwellings of the late 1800s to foursquares and Craftsman bungalows of the 1920s. It holds one of the city's largest collections of modest bungalows, including the Arlington Park Subdivision. A church, a former school, a former fire station and a fountain add civic variety.","narrative":"South Greensboro Historic District lies just south of downtown Greensboro and the former North Carolina Railroad tracks. One of the city's earliest suburbs, it grew along Asheboro Street, now Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, and remains almost entirely residential. About ten percent of its roughly 340 residences predate 1900, including Italianate and Queen Anne houses and I-house and L-plan forms. Most of the rest were built in the 1920s, when more than 180 bungalows and about twenty-five foursquares went up, many with Craftsman details. The Arlington Park Subdivision contains unbroken rows of modest bungalows. Larger buildings include a Neoclassical Revival mansion built for developer John A. Hodgin, a former Friends church, a former fire station and the former David Caldwell School, now apartments. Building largely ended around 1930. Highway widening destroyed some early houses, and a few modern commercial buildings intrude along the main road, but the street grid and granite curbs survive.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Bungalow/Craftsman, Queen Anne, Italianate, foursquare, L-plan, I-house","criteria":[],"status_note":"Mostly still residential; the former school now holds apartments, the former fire station holds offices, and several houses on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive were being renovated as apartments by the city.
