Why it's listed
Hillside is a brick and half-timbered Tudor style mansion on the highest point of Fisher Park Circle in Greensboro, designed by Charles C. Hartmann in 1928 and completed in 1929. The house has thirty rooms over four stories and a length of about 160 feet, broken by a three-story polygonal stair tower and irregular rooflines so it appears to have grown over time. Its walls use red-brown rough fired brick with herringbone and basketweave panels, and its interior includes plaster strapwork ceilings and raised oak paneling. It was built for Julian Price, who led Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company from 1919 to 1946 and served eight years on the Greensboro City Council. The house is valued for its link to Price's business and civic career and for its quality as Hartmann's domestic design, which the nomination regards as rare in the state.
Significance in brief: The nomination argues the house reflects the private life of Julian Price, president of Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company, whose business and civic work shaped Greensboro. It is also cited as a high-quality example of Hartmann's domestic work and as a distinctive Tudor-style house with limited representation in North Carolina.
