Regarding John H. Bohannan House. Excerpts from the Kenworth Historic District Nomination Form:
The John N. Bohannon House is an attractive small, one story, five bay house covered with german siding built in 1923...
Because he moved to Asheville in the late 1920s little biographical information has been uncovered in Hickory on John N. Bohannon. At present he is a financial and industrial consultant in Asheville. He bought this lot in 1921 and recalled that the house was built in 1923. Its design was taken from a magazine and altered to suit his needs. Bohannon has retained ownership of the house, and has rented it since his removal to Asheville.

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 19, 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.
