Regarding Dr. C.S. Grayson House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
The Dr. C. S. Grayson House at 1009 North Main Street in High Point is an imposing eclectic Colonial Revival style residence constructed in 1923-1925 of rock-faced Mt. Airy granite. Dr. Grayson, one of High Point's most beloved doctors, was a family practitioner and obstetrician in High Point from 1907 until his death in 1952, and a prominent civic leader during the 1920s and 1930s when he served on the city council and four terms as mayor. The well-preserved house with its matching stone garage have housed the Bernice Bienenstock Fumiture Library since 1970. The Grayson House is one of the last survivors of the fashionable North Main Street residential district that was the showplace of industrialists and businessmen's houses during High Point's early twentieth century boom period. The house was designed by prominent Greensboro architect Harry Barton, a French-trained Beaux Arts designer who designed numerous courthouses, churches, schools, commercial buildings and residences throughout North Carolina from 1912 until his death in the 1930s.
