North Cherry Street Historic District
The National Park Service has not published a boundary polygon for this district; the map shows the listed properties inside it and the district's reference point.
Why it's listed
North Cherry Street's 100 block in Kernersville holds a small cluster of six houses and four outbuildings built between about 1900 and 1930. Commercial and medical development at both ends and behind the east side sets the tree-shaded block apart. The houses show the range of styles popular in those decades: the Italianate-influenced Totten-Goslen House, the Neoclassical/Colonial Revival Fulp and Stanley houses, the Coastal Cottage-inspired Beard House, and the brick Morris Bungalow. The George Virgil Fulp House, built about 1915 for a banker and furniture manufacturer, has one of the most elegant interiors in town, with French doors, a sweeping stair and mahogany dining room paneling. Residents were successful businessmen, including furniture salesmen and manufacturers, and the block reflects Kernersville's growth in the three decades before the Depression. The district was listed for its architecture and its link to the town's social history.

What listing means for this property
This is a historic district. Buildings within its boundary are either contributing (they add to the district's significance) or non-contributing. Owners of contributing income-producing buildings can claim the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit; homeowners should look at state credits. National Register districts impose no design review by themselves; a local historic district ordinance, if one exists, does (the difference explained).
