Regarding The Cicero Francis Lowe House.

The Cicero Francis Lowe House, one of Winston-Salem's finest surviving Colonial Revival residences, stands on a prominent elevation at the intersection of Broad Street and Cascade Avenue in the Washington Park neighborhood. It was built in 1911 for Cicero Lowe, secretary of the Brown-Rogers Hardware Company, and it is thought to have been designed by Willard C. Northup, a prominent North Carolina architect. The Washington Park neighborhood was developed by the Winston-Salem Land and Investment Company in 1892 and by 1910 many prominent industrialists and businessmen listed a Cascade Avenue address. The Lowe House is a residence of pivotal importance to Washington Park and Cascade Avenue, and it stands as a reminder of the exuberance and prosperity which Salem and Winston enjoyed in the early twentieth century.
