Regarding Campbell House. Excerpts from the National Register nomination for the Summit Avenue Historic District:
The Summit Avenue Historic District is one of Greensboro's most intact late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century neighborhoods. … 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.
Silas F Campbell House: stepped-back wall planes and varied roofline of this early Colonial Revival style house suggest a lingering fascination with the Queen Anne at the opening of the century; its oversized windows and entry are topped by transoms at the first story, which is shaded by wraparound porch of shortened Ionic columns on tall brick piers.
Silas F. Campbell was bookkeeper for McClamroch Mantel Co.
