Regarding Rector-Cline House.

The Rector-Cline house is a two story, three bay, double pile, yellow brick veneered Colonial Revival building, built about 1929.…
Lawrence O. Rector purchased this building lot from the C.H. Cline estate in 1928, and apparently had the house built on it soon after since he was listed as living at this address in the 1928-29 city directory. In 1931 he sold the property with “improvements” for $10.00 and assumption of the mortgage to Carl V. Cline. Cline (-1963) was an important businessman and civic leader. His father, J.A. C1ine, established the first hosiery mill in Hickory in 1906, and Carl became involved in its management after attending Lenoir-Rhyne College, a medical college in Charlotte, and the University of North Carolina. A Catawba County Commissioner, he was appointed to two Governor's Boards, and was active in establishing the Small Business Administration.
