Regarding Clyde L. Herman House. Excerpts from the Kenworth Historic District Nomination Form:
Constructed about 1922, the Clyde L. Herman House is a large and impressive, asymmetrically massed bungalow with a tin shingle roof. One and one-half stories in height, and three bays wide, the brick veneered and wood shingled house has a large gable roof dormer adjacent to an attached porch on the front, east elevation...
Clyde L. Herman (1895-1977) was born in Alexander County, the son of Monroe and Candace Herman. In 1905 the family moved to Hickory, and Clyde later attended Lenoir-Rhyne College. In 1918 he obtained a bookkeeper's position with the FirstNational Bank of Hickory and at his retirement in 1970 Herman was vice-president and cashier of the institution. He was an active member of the First United Methodist Church of Hickory. His wife was the former Laura Anne "Lottie" Suttlemyre; they were married in 1922. The Herman's bought this lot and one-half of the adjacent lot in 1921 and 1923 respectively.Photographed by Mark Parker, October 11, 20242. Front entrance of the Clyde L. Herman House.

Mohney, consultant to the city of Hickory, 1984The 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.Photographed by Mark Parker, October 11, 20243. Full view of Clyde L. Herman House.
