It was moved in 1995 from Greene Street to avoid demolition by First Presbyterian Church, and about twenty percent of it sat outside the district boundary. The expansion brings the whole house into the district and aligns the national and local district boundaries.","narrative":"A small strip of land on North Church Street in Greensboro was added to the Fisher Park Historic District so that a relocated house could sit fully within the district. The Gant-McAlister House, a two-story frame dwelling built between 1910 and 1915, was moved in 1995 from Greene Street after church expansion threatened it with demolition. After the move, about twenty percent of the building lay outside the district boundary, so the 0.068-acre parcel was added. The house features projecting bays, a Doric porch, a pyramidal roof with gables and dormers, and a pedimented entry with two-story pilasters. It is described as a fine example of the transition from Queen Anne to Colonial Revival style, which is common in the district. The house remains a contributing building. It was rehabilitated for commercial use, joined to the neighboring Murphy House by a breezeway, and the move had strong local preservation support.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Transitional Queen Anne/Colonial Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Rehabilitated and completed in June 1996 to house an expansion of an antique business located in the adjacent Dixon-Leftwich-Murphy House.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:57:48.720325-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/35/7179/47717935/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/96000963.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/96000963/a58626507d-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/96000963/a58626507d-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Exwhysee","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fisher_Park_Neighborhood_Greensboro.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Exwhysee</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fisher_Park_Neighborhood_Greensboro.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"91002006","name":"Fisher Park Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/north-carolina/fisher-park-historic-district-91002006/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47717935","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher_Park_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19461756"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/guilford-county/fisher-park-historic-district-boundary-increase-96000963/"}
