Regarding Reveley-Anderson House. Excerpts from the Kenworth Historic District Nomination Form:
The Reveley-Anderson House, built about 1922, is an asymmetrically massed one story, double pile bungalo~ clad entirely in wood shingles...
In 1921 R.J. Reveley, one-time principal of Hickory High School, bought this lot from the Hickory Land and Development Company. Two years later he sold the property, apparently with improvements, to W.F. and Virginia Kennedy...In 1946 Edgar Ervin Anderson and his wife, the former Sue Amy Dakin, purchased the property. Anderson (1876-1950), born in Morristown,Tennessee, was the son of Orris C. and Harriet Sevier Anderson...Robert G. Abernethy who lives next door in the Nichelson-Abernethy house recalls when his trucking firm delivered the large wooden crates in which the ready-cut components of the house had been shipped from California. At present it is the only known mail-order house in the city, although the name of the manufacturer is not known.Photographed by Mark Parker, October 11, 20242. Full view of Reveley-Anderson House.

The Kenworth District is a relatively small group of buildings, primarily residential, located in southeast Hickory. It contains twenty-three primary structures in an L-shaped area of approximately nine acres...(Submitted on October 11, 2024, by Mark Parker of Hickory, North Carolina.)
Building activity in the Kenworth District was, with four exceptions, confined to the period from about 1920 to 1926. During this post war boom period Hickory experienced a strong rise in its building stock which included examples of the Colonial Revival and various other contemporary styles. The bungalow was, however, the predominant house type constructed at this time.
