The Summit Avenue Historic District is one of Greensboro's most intact late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century neighborhoods. The integrity and character of its buildings, individually and as a group, make it eligible for the National Register. … Erected between about 1895 and 1910, its many large Queen Anne and transitional Queen Anne/Colonial Revival residences are among the finest examples of the styles in the city. Its foursquares of the following two decades, primarily Craftsman in style, are also architecturally notable, as are its bungalows. Prominent and well designed, its small number of Neoclassical Revival, Shingle, Italian Renaissance Revival, Richardsonian Romanesque, and Chateauesque style dwellings further enhance its distinctive architectural character. The district's single early non-residential structure, the Charles B. Aycock School (1922), is among the largest and finest early twentieth-century schools in the city. … The neighborhood reflects and illuminates trends central to the city's growth during the period, most notably the growth of the road and streetcar network; the power and influence of the city's textile industry and its creators; and the activities of organized real estate interests.
