Regarding Harvey Jeremiah Peeler House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
TheHarvey J. Peeler House is an excellent local example of a Craftsman and Colonial Revival-style house. This distinctive two-story, solid masonry house features a projecting sunroom and a large wraparound porch. The stylish home was built in 1923 near the epicenter of the young but burgeoning textile town of Kannapolis, North Carolina, and is one of only a few homes not built by textile giant Cannon Mills for its employees. Harvey Jeremiah Peeler, school superintendent and local businessman, had the large home constructed for his family that included eight children. After his death in 1929, the family boarded teachers and local workers who needed temporary lodging. In 1950 it became well-known in the community as the location of Lady’s Funeral Home, which leased the property for eighteen years. Because of its size, central location, and level of craftsmanship, it served as a symbol of the growing prosperity of a successful company town and remains a landmark today.
