Regarding Greene-Lutz House. Excerpt from the National
this page online
Built sometime after 1901 the Greene-Lutz house is a one story, three bay, triple pile, weatherboarded building with a somewhat irregular roof configuration.… Information on the original owner of the house has been difficult to find. Thomas J. Greene and his wife Rosa originally lived on the north side of the railroad tracks not far from the Hickory Manufacturing Company. They bought the lot in 1901, and after his death Mrs. Greene lived here until 1921 when her guardian sold the house to Horace C. Lutz. Lutz (1888-1969) was born in Granite Falls, and moved to Hickory in 1904. At first Lutz worked at the Carroll M. Shuford Drug Store, but then enrolled at the University of North Carolina where he obtained his degree in Pharmacy. In 1909 he returned to Hickory and with Claude Moser opened the Moser and Lutz Drug Store. In 1914 Lutz bought out Moser's interest and operated the firm – Lutz Drug Store – until his death. At the time of his death, Lutz was the second oldest and still active merchant in Hickory. Active in numerous civic and fraternal organizations Lutz was a long-time appointee to the North Carolina Board of Health, and was a member of the First United Methodist Church. His wife was the former Ella Jackson Sellers (1892-1977), and his brother Albert C. Lutz lived in a house which was one block away.
