Restoration Project: An 1846 Quaker Landmark in High Point, Now Fire-Damaged, $45,000

606 E. Springfield Road, High Point
The Marshall-Jay House

• $45,000
• 2 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bathrooms, 1,360 square feet, 0.65 acre
• Price/square foot: $33
• Built in 1846
• Listed March 31, 2026
• Last sale: $25,000, October 2025

The original occupants were Zelinda and David Marshall, teachers who came to Springfield from what is now Guilford College. The house is said to have been a stop on the Underground Railroad. In 1868 it was bought by a post-war relief organization, the Baltimore Association to Advise and Assist Friends in the Southern States. Allen Jay, a prominent Quaker minister from Indiana, led the group’s efforts and lived in the house.

The house was badly damaged by fire in 2023, and the Springfield Meeting decided to tear it down. Instead, they were persuaded to sell the house to the High Point Preservation Society, which is now seeking a new owner to preserve it.

W. T. Jones was president of Tyson & Jones Buggy Company and president of the Carriage Builders National Association. Born in 1833, he was also the son of a slave and a slave owner. He was a Confederate Army officer and one of the most respected businessmen in 19th-century Carthage. As recently as 20 years ago, people in Carthage denied the truth about him, even though everyone knew it.

A 1923 Bungalow That Had a Grocery Store in its Walk-Out Basement for Decades, $499,900

2083 Elizabeth Avenue, Winston-Salem
Rogers Grocery

• $499,900
• 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, 1,753 square feet, 0.14 acre

• Neighborhood: Ardmore Historic District (NR)

The house is on the corner of Elizabeth Avenue and Irving Street.

Its entrance still exists on the side of the house. The basement now includes a bar, half bath, play space and a workshop.

District NR nomination: “[B]efore the onset of the Great Depression, Ardmore was a comfortably middle-class, white neighborhood that typified suburban development of its day. Children growing up in Ardmore enjoyed a neighborhood in the country, playing on vacant lots and the large tract of open land owned by P.H. Hanes (now the comer of Cloverdale Avenue and Miller Street). Other entertainments included hopscotch, roller skating on the neighborhood’s sidewalks, and bicycling to nearby stores. … The Rogers Grocery … on Irving Street was located in the basement of 2083 Elizabeth Avenue and was a favorite location for candy-buying.”

Sold at an Astounding Price: A 1953 MCM in Winston-Salem, $925,000

1801 Georgia Avenue, Winston-Salem
The Floyd and Vivian Burge House

• Sold for $925,000 on March 26, 2026 (listed at $895,000)
• 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,655 square feet, 0.64 acre
• Price/square foot: $559
• Built in 1953

• Last sales: $853,000, May 2024; $236,000, March 2014
• Neighborhood: West Highlands
• Note: Sold by an LLC associated with an investment firm in St. Petersburg, Florida.

It’s a wonderful house (click on the link above for more about the house itself), but $559 per square foot is an extraordinary price for a historic home of any sort in Winston-Salem or the Triad. Since 2025, out of 453 historic-home sales tracked on this website, only two others sold for than $500 per square foot and only 32 sold between $300 and $500. The highest price paid in Winston-Salem was $377 per square foot. In 2024, this house sold for $515 per square foot, a wildly overpriced sale, some would say, which the sellers have managed to exceed.

For comparison, seven other MCM houses have been sold this year. Six sold for less than half the price per square foot of 1801 Georgia, and that group includes two designed by Edward Lowenstein, the area’s most notable Mid-Century Modern architect (the other MCM sold this year went for an even higher price).

Henry’s widow and son sold the property in 1919 to Herbert Fields Brady (1886-1960). It remained in his family until 2005. Herbert was a prominent local business owner. He operated Brady Funeral Home for more than 50 years and Crescent Furniture Company and Brady Manufacturing Company, a textile producer.

A distinctive Tudor Revival/English Cottage, with a lighter color than is typical of the style and intersecting gables creating a more complex roofline.

Comment from my architecture consultant Claude: “That’s a wonderful street! You’ve got a real architectural variety there – the Craftsman at 1606 and this Tudor Cottage at 1602, both from that same golden era of the 1920s. Those early-to-mid 20th century neighborhoods often have that kind of delightful mix of period styles, each house with its own character but all working together to create a cohesive streetscape. West End Place must be a pleasure to walk through!” He’s right again.

Alterations include vinyl siding and replacement one- over-one double-sash windows.

Dr. Hugh Willis (1852-1914) spent his career practicing in Summerfield. “He came from one of the most prominent families in Rockingham county and he was respected as an ideal man,” the Greensboro Daily News said.

The James and Laura Long house
National Register

• $699,000

• Price/square foot: $140
• Built in 1896
• Listed March 18, 2026
• Last sale: $82,000, August 2004
• Note: Original architectural features inside the house include a grand wooden staircase, 11 fireplaces, pocket doors, appliqued ceilings and ornate moldings.
  • Most of the interior is terrific, but for a house this expensive, the kitchen and bathrooms are conspicuously underwhelming.

National Register nomination: “Completed in 1896, the James A. and Laura Thompson Long House is Roxboro’s most outstanding Queen Anne dwelling and a well-preserved, intact representative of the style in a North Carolina town that prospered after the Civil War. It also exemplifies the changes in the style that took place as Beaux Arts design reemerged in American architecture after the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. At the time of its completion, the Roxboro Courier described the Long House as ‘magnificent,’ ‘a modem design and strikingly beautiful,’ and ‘the most costly dwelling ever built in Person County.’

“J.A. Long, the ‘founder of modern Roxboro,’ built the locally significant house, and this is the only extant residence associated with him. Long, a local businessman and industrialist founded Roxboro’s first cotton mill and is credited with bringing the railroad to Roxboro. A fellow Roxboro businessman recalled that Long worked day and night, traveling, writing letters, and ‘talking much at home and abroad in an effort to get others interested’ in rail service.”

Here’s something I haven’t seen before: “The home has tested positive for Methamphetamine.” Click the link above for three things to know about meth-contaminated houses.

And … “The septic tank is falling in and leach lines are failing. When the property was subdivided, the new property line is over the leach field. Home no longer perks. The only permit that the county is offering is a pump and haul. Waiting for regional soil scientist to go out and do a test.”

The house may have been built by Vick Chemical Company, or Vick may have been its first owner. Vick bought the property in 1916, and the city directory listed it for the first time in 1917. It was a rental until 1922, when Vick sold the house to one of its employees, James Robert Bull (1875-1935), a carpenter. He lived in the house from 1922 until he died in 1935. It may have been a rental ever since.

A 1920’s Tudor Cottage in Greensboro’s Westerwood, $408,000

708 E. Lake Drive, Greensboro

• $408,000
• 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and 1 half-bathroom, 1,675 square feet, 0.20 acre
• Price/square foot: $244
• Built in 1924 (per county, but probably a coule years later; see note)
• Listed March 13, 2026
• Last sale: $46,000, February 1981
• Neighborhood: Westerwood

A relatively modest Tudor Revival/English Cottage house. It has fewer decorative elements than many Tudors, but still has characteristic details — the steep roof, arched entrance, small entry porch with a peaked roof, and compact, vertical proportions that emphasize height over width. The asymmetrical, cross-gable roof gives it a strikingly different look.

The house is across the street from the Lake Daniel Greenway.

A 1924 Farmhouse on 10 acres Near Greensboro, Being Sold with Demolition in Mind, $205,000

1412 Rankin Mill Road, McLeansville, Guilford County
The Baxter and Rosa Goodwin House

• Neighborhood: Located just outside the Greensboro’s eastern city limit, about 4 miles west of McLeansville. The Greensboro Urban Loop (Interstate 840) runs along the relatively short northeast boundary of the property. The house is at the opposite end in the southwest corner.

There’s probably little hope for this house, since the listing calls it “an abandoned farmhouse that is not livable.” The listing just six years ago saw it much differently: “Own your own mini farm or start a vineyard on this 10 acre lot with vintage farmhouse. Large rooms, tall ceilings, classic entry hall with banister, over large covered front porch. Affordable price to make this home your own.”

• Note: City records show a 1928 construction date. The ca. 1890 date in the National Register nomination appears much more likely.
  • No central air conditioning

District NR nomination: “This is a two-story, brick, Queen Anne influenced dwelling with a brick foundation, cross gable asphalt shingle roof, and an interior brick chimney. The dwelling was constructed in a prow plan with a central projecting bay on the main façade. The bay has chamfered corners with corbelled brick.”

1606 West End Place, Greensboro
The Morris-Haynes House

• $739,000
• 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2,473 square feet (per county), 0.19 acre

• Built in 1926 (county records say 1933; see note)
• Listed March 15, 2024
• Last sale: $699,000, April 2024; $295,000, November 20, 2023
• Neighborhood: College Park
• Note: The owners’ address is listed in Carmel, Indiana.

The address was first listed in the city directory in 1926 with Dewey Madison Morris (1898-1937) and Addie R. Morris (1902-1992) as residents. Dewey had come to Greensboro in 1920 from Spray, where he worked for Carolina Cotton and Woolen Mills. He was city auditor and chief of the Accounting Department until 1926, after which he organized the State Industrial Bank and served as vice-president and cashier.

Dewey and Addie had lost the house to foreclosure in 1932. In 1936 Conrad Bryan Haynes (1896-1976) and Mary Belle Smith Haynes (1903-1992) bought the house and owned it for the rest of their lives. Haynes was a salesman for Rabb-Smith Company, a store that sold appliances, radios, sporting goods, toys and games. Mary’s heir sold the house in 1994.

A 1920’s Mansion in Greensboro, Sold for $1.55 Million without Being Listed Publicly

1609 St. Andrews Road, Greensboro
The Rossell-Watson House

• 5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms, 4,156 square feet, 0.34 acre
• Price/square foot: $373
• Built in 1929 (per county, but probably several years earlier; see note)
• Not listed publicly for sale
• Last sale: $865,000, November 2016
• Neighborhood: Irving Park
• Note: The pictures above appear to be from the 2016 listing.

John Ellis Rossell Sr. (1894-1939) and Cora Galloway Mebane Rossell (1893-1976) bought the property in 1927, although they had been listed at the address since 1924 and in Irving Park (with no specific address) since 1920. John was vice president and treasurer of Mebane-Rossell-Cress, the local dealer for Dodge cars and Graham trucks.

The Rossells sold the house in 1930. It changed hands four times before it was bought in 1944 by Dr. Hugh Alfred Watson (1904-1974) and Almeria Russ Watson (1914-1993). They owned the house for 34 years. Hugh was a surgeon who practiced in Greensboro from 1941 until he died.

• Last sales: $1.176 million, March 2024; $190,000, January 2019
• Neighborhood: Fisher Park Historic District (local and NR)
• Note: For some reason, online listings give the address as 305 W. Bessemer Avenue Lot 2, whatever that means.
• District NR nomination: “Germanic Revival, Residence, 1920-1925”

Greensboro Daily News: “In the sport of wrestling, where there is enough rough stuff even at its best, Chairman Stockard recognized the difference between rough and dirty tactics and for the rough boys he had admiration and for the dirty ones, who didn’t come clean, he had fines and a sharp rebuke.”

The house has been gutted and renovated, but the exterior isn’t dramatically changed from its original appearance. My architecture consultant, whose name is Claude (doesn’t seem to have a last name), says, “The renovations have been respectful of the original character while giving it a fresh, contemporary aesthetic.” That’s what I thought, too.

• Last sales: $465,000, May 2022; $285,000, October 2016; $255,000, May 2009
• Neighborhood: Sunset Hills Historic District (NR)
• Note: For sale by owner
  • County records give a 1948 date.
  • Deeds refer to the neighborhood as the Shaw Estates subdivision.
  • Oddly, online listings mistakenly locate the house north of West Market Street between Market and West Friendly Avenue. It’s actually south of Market between Market and Walker Avenue.

District NR nomination: “The ca. 1930 Dorothy and James B. Carter House at 205 Kensington Road is a Period Cottage with Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival elements including a classical tracery fanlight and sidelights at the columned entry.”

James Bain Carter (1899-1964) was manager of the Ballard and Ballard Company, a flour manufacturer. They owned the house from 1930 to 1937. After several changes of ownership, it was bought in 1965 by Fay Feageans Gilbert (1913-2007), owner of the Campus Cupboard, a clothing store on Tate Street near UNC Greensboro. Her husband, Thomas Ray Gilbert (1903-1993), was a Navy veteran and for 45 years an engineer with Southern Railway. The wonderfully long-lived couple were married for 60 years. The house remained in their family for 44 years.

A hand-painted plaque on the house reads, “Byerly 1885,” but no definitive documentation is available online to support an 1885 date for the house. It’s not mentioned in the 2003 architectural survey of Rockingham County. County records give a 1930 date, but the architecture looks much earlier.

• Neighborhood: Academy Street Historic District (NR)
• Note: Pictures show the house vacant and in poor condition, but the listing says it is now being rented (month-to-month lease) and the tenant wants to stay.

District NR nomination: “One-story frame, single-pile, T-shaped house with bungalow-style front porch and dormer. Original rear portion said to have been built mid-nineteenth century around an 1830s log cabin which housed slaves of the Twitchell family next door; local historian recalled slave Porter Scales living here in 1860.”

Later in the 19th century, the house served as an office for doctors, a home for a tinsmith and his 10 children, and an Episcopal rectory.

  • The property’s initial online listings include no photos of the interior.

The district’s National Register nomination (1986) details a hideous alteration, describing “an enclosed front porch with central sliding glass doors.” The porch has been restored; Google Street View indicates that happened before 2007.

A 1925 Bungalow Owned for 97 Years by Yadkin County’s Prominent Hoots Family, $360,000

5608 E. Old U.S. Highway 421, Yadkin County
The Hoots-McCollum House

• $360,000

• Price/square foot: $219

• Note: The home’s interior has an unusually high degree of historic integrity, including beadboard paneling on walls and ceilings.

The property was owned by members of the Hoots family for 97 years. The original owner of the house was Zeno Hoots (1893-1967), who bought the property in 1915 from his parents, Henry Winfield Hoots (1861-1929) and Rachel Jennette Rose Etta Cranfill Hoots (1864-1962). Zeno, like his father, was in the flour mill business. The deed described the location of the property as “on the new road.”

An 1837 Mansion in Kernersville, an 19th-Century and 21st-Century Inn, $565,000

419 S. Main Street, Kernersville, Forsyth County
The Gibson House Inn

• $565,000
• 5 bedrooms, 5 1/2 bathrooms, 4,442 square feet (per county), 0.65 acre
• Price/square foot: $127
• Built in 1837
• Listed March 5, 2026
• Last sales: $497,000, May 2023; $238,000, February 2019
• Neighborhood: South Main Street Historic District (NR). Incredibly, the district’s 1987 National Register nomination doesn’t even mention the house, one of the oldest in the district.
• Note: The house is next door to Korner’s Folly.
  • Online listings position the house “as a private residence, luxury rental, or event-focused property.”

The inn’s website says the house was built by longtime innkeeper Doughty Stockton (1776-1855) and Elizabeth Perkins Stockton (1798-1858). The house was most likely a residence for much of the 20th century. It became an antiques store in the 1960s, then a mission church for Holy Cross Catholic Church from 1969-1982 and then an antiques store again. It became an inn once again after it was bought in 2019.

• Built in 1906
• Listed March 4, 2026
• Last sale: $207,500, November 2024
• Neighborhood: Mount Airy Historic District (NR)

An unusual variation on the familiar “triple-A” style: It has the typical symmetry and centered gable window above a full-width front porch but with two floors rather than the common one-floor design. Having only one second-floor window on the front elevation gives it a distinctive look.

The earliest history of the house is obscure. The few city directories online from the first two decades of the 20th century don’t list either of the first two known addresses for the property, and the first known deed for the property is almost completely illegible (as so many Surry County deeds are).

A Notable, and Notably Expensive, 1953 MCM in Winston-Salem, $895,000

• Neighborhood: West Highlands
• Note: Owned by an LLC associated with an investment firm in St. Petersburg, Florida.
  • Online listings show the house as 2,415 square feet, about 50 percent higher than county records show. The owner is paying property taxes based on the county figure of 1,655, so that’s the figure we’re using.

$541 per square foot is an extraordinary price for a historic home of any sort in Winston-Salem or the Triad. In 2025, out of 406 home sales tracked on this website, there were only two priced higher than $500 per square foot and only 26 between $300 and $500. The highest price paid in Winston-Salem was $377 per square foot. In 2024, this house sold for $515/square foot, an extremely high price relative to other sales, which the owners now are trying to duplicate.

Percy C. Idol (1910-1997) and Lillian Grandy Idol (1918-1998) bought the property in 1949 and were listed at the address in 1951, the first year it appeared in the city directory. Percy was a salesman for Adams-Millis. The house remained in their family until 2023.
