The form notes an unusually high degree of integrity and a clear sense of community.","narrative":"Northside Historic District is a residential neighborhood in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, just north of the town's original 1793 boundary. Poindexter Creek, later covered by a viaduct, once separated it from the older town, so early development was mostly agricultural. The oldest houses are two Greek Revival dwellings on North Road Street, from about 1845 and 1847. Most of the district grew between the 1880s and 1920s, when builders put up two-story frame houses in gable-front, L-plan, T-plan and center-hall forms, decorated with porch friezes and gable ornaments. Queen Anne was the most popular style, and Eastlake woodwork is especially elaborate on several houses. Later Colonial Revival, Foursquare and Craftsman houses are fewer. The district also has four churches, including two Victorian Romanesque brick churches, two brick schools, garages, and decorative concrete yard curbs. It contains 398 contributing and 175 noncontributing resources and keeps a high level of architectural and neighborhood integrity.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Joseph P.
