Open farmland was subdivided and built up mainly from 1909 through World War II, growing as the East Carolina Teachers Training School expanded. Streets follow a grid, with mature oaks and pecans, granite curbs, small front yards and consistent setbacks. The largest, most stylish houses face the campus on East Fifth Street. Craftsman Bungalows, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival and Spanish-influenced houses predominate, the last inspired by campus buildings. Most homes are modest versions of popular styles drawn from magazines or stock plans, though local architects and the Ballard and Ballard design-build firm produced some. Non-residential buildings include St. Paul's Episcopal Church of 1930 and the 1921 Rotary Club Building. Many houses keep period garages. Some have been converted to student apartments, fraternities or university offices, but most retain their original form.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Ballard and Ballard (local contractors); R.L.
