Irving Park is a picturesque suburb, planned and developed
beginning in the early twentieth century as Greensboro's ultimate park
community. It is located in northwest Greensboro and is bounded
generally by Buffalo Creek on the east and southeast, Battleground
Avenue on the west, Cornwallis Drive on the north, and jest Northwood
Street on the south. The main entrance to the district is signaled by
the ceremonial stone portals at the junction of Sunset Drive and N.
Elm Street followed by the planted boulevard that constitutes the
first block of Sunset Drive. The Irving Park ,Historic District is
that portion of the overall Irving Park neighborhood which contains
the most cohesive concentration of resources from the neighborhood's
historic period of significance prior to World War 11, i.e. 1911-
1941. (See sketch map.)
The natural features of the landscape set the stage for Irving
Park's planned development. The area consists of rolling hills,
woodlands, and a collection of small streams which feed into Buffalo
Creek at the southeast edge of the district. A large percentage of
the district is composed of open land, including the golf course,
three parks, and the land between Sunset Circle and Buffalo Creek.

Section number Page Guilford County, North Carolina
The neighborhood was carefully planned to take advantage of the
topography and other landscape features. The Irving Park Historic
Distract follows a strong east -west axis which begins with the
ceremonial stone portals and divided boulevard on Sunset Drive west or
North Elm Street and includes the southerly extension of the golf
course on the west end.
Irving Park is a residential neighborhood developed around the
Greensboro Country Club. Except for the country club, the three small
parks, the entrance to the neighborhood at Sunset Drive and North Elm
Street, and the Elm Street Bridge --all of which are significant--all-
other
ignificant--allother resources in the district are residential. Of these, all except
two apartment complexes on N. Elm Street are singe family dwellings
and their support buildings such as garages and servant or guest
houses. Thus, in addition to the residential neighborhood as a whole,
the district is comprised of the following.property types described in
the multiple property documentation form for "HIistoric and
Architectural Resources of Greensboro, forth Carolina, 1880-1941":
single family private homes, multiple family dwellings, parks, and
bridges. The district includes 270 resources, of which 173, or 640-.,
are contributing to the character of the district. Of the 270 total
resources, 157 are primary resources (r-,e.aning other than small support
buildings like garages), and of these, 72% are contributing. The
contributing primary resources include ninety-nine buildings, four
sites, one structure, and two objects. All fifty --three. non-
contributing primary resources are buildings. Almost all of the no„ -
contributing resources date from within the last fifty years, but are,
for the most part one in scale and character with the historic
development. There are no major intrusions. With more than 720 of
the district's primary resources dating from the 1911-1941 period o=
significance, the district looks substantially as it did at the end of
that period of development. Irving Park was laid out in three prar=ar-v
planning efforts. The first cart of the plan was drawn by civil
engineer W. B. Trogdon for A. M. Scales, when Scales began selling
land for his new development, beginning with the April 22, 1911, sa
of 58.52 acres to the Greenscoro Country Cub. This first plan
appears to have encompassed the streets and lots laid out between N.
Street on the east, present-day =ruing Place, Granville Road, a7d
Country Club Dr. to Carlisle Road on the north, Carlisle Road and
Briarcliff Road on the wes and Meas-_wc)"'ook Terrace (exterded
wes�.ward to oresent-dav Br-arc}iff Road) or ,—he south. The Dale-

plan. During 1912 and 1913, lots were sold and the earliest houses in
the district were built on Sunset Drive around Meadowbrook Terrace
(then called D'Eschaler Terrace). These.houses survive. Early growth
spread primarily along Sunset east of Briarcliff or just off Sunset.
The second planning effort came in the mid 1910s with the plan of
noted Boston landscape architect John Nolen. His plan was more
comprehensive. He utilized the work already laid out by Trogdon,
expanded it, and developed it more fully in terms of landscaping, thus
setting the stage for the future development of most of present-day
Irving Park: Sunset Drive east of N. Elm Street, N. Elm Street west to
Battleground Avenue, and Cornwallis Drive south to Nottingham and
Woodland Drives. However, much of this area was not actually
developed until after World War II and has not been included in the
district.
The third planning effort came around 1920, when Philadelphia and
Atlanta landscape architect Robert B. Cridland enlarged and revised
Nolen's plan. (Neither of these plans is dated, so their dates and
the actual execution must be surmised from other evidence. However,
Cridland's general, plan of Irving Park states that it includes
"additions and revisions to plan of John Nolen"). The main difference
in Cridland's plan was that he incorporated the land north of present-
day Irving Place, east of Granville Road, south of Cornwallis Drive,
and west of N. Elm Street that had not been included in Nolen's plan.
According to the 1916 plat of the Country Club Development drawn by J.
R. Egmungs, this land was owned by W. D. McAdoo, who apparently had
planned to develop it.
There are numerous small differences between Nolen's and Cridland's
plans, such as differences in the arrangements of lots in some areas,
the layout of some streets in the northern and western sections, and
the length of the green center strip on Sunset Drive west from N. Elm
Street ----on Nolen's plan it continues to Edgedale Road, while on
Cridland's plan it stops at St. Andrew's Road, as it does today.
However, there are just as many minor changes between Cridland's
overall plan and today's actuality as there were between Nolen's plan
and Cridland's plan, and the dates of these subsequent changes are
unknown.
During the 1920s and 1930s, houses were erected beyond the earliest
planned area devised by 11. B. Trogdon. Even later to develop was the
stretch of Country Club Drive from Carlisle Road to Lafayette Avenue,
with the exception of A. W. McAlister's tract. The houses along
Country Club Drive from Nottingham Road to Lafayette Avenue were built

primarily during the 1940s and 1950s --outside the district's period of
significance. Yet these houses conform with the earlier architectural
styles in the neighborhood. In addition,. they are set far back from
the road, with no driveways entering Country Club Drive, so that this
area of development contributes to the park -like setting which
typifies Irving Park.
other changes which have occurred since Irving Park's early years
include the eventual paving of the streets and the several
replacements of the country club clubhouse. The present clubhouse is
the fourth on the site and dates from 1986-1987. All in all, the
neighborhood continues to look essentially as it did by the end of the
period of significance.
Irving Park is Greensboro's best example of a planned picturesque
suburb, and its unity is in large measure the result of the use of
spacious lawns, deep setbacks, lush plantings, curving roadways, and
parks. Early deeds contained restrictive covenants establishing the
quality of development and the general physical relationship of the
buildings to each other and to the environment. Houses in most areas
were to cost at least $5,000 (in 1912). Houses could be no closer to
the street than fifty feet, and they could not be built on lots less
than one hundred feet wide. Houses had to have at least fifteen feet
between the house and any sideline. Many houses, in fact, occupy
large lots with expansive lawns. There are numerous shade trees and
ample planting of shrubbery and gardens. Most houses in the district
relate physically to either the well -manicured country club golf
course which runs east to west and then south through the district or
to one of the several small parks composed of low-lying woodlands or
meadows along streams. Curving, tree -lined streets add to the park-
like setting, as do the stone piers, benches, and low walls and the
divided roadway of the main entrance to the neighborhood at Sunset
Drive and N. Elm Street. The relationship of buildings to landscape
continues to be important at the apartment complexes on the east side
of N. Elm Street. At the Country Club Apartments, in particular, the
buildings are grouped around a large landscaped inner court.
Architectural Styles:
The architectural styles in the distract are most characteristic of
urban building in the 1910s and 1920s. There are many architecturally
outstanding houses in Irving Park which are the product of the design

skills of such Greensboro architects as Charles C. Hartmann and
William C. Holleyman, Jr. and such out-of-town architects as A.
Raymond Ellis of New York and Charles Barton Keen of Philadelphia.
The most prevalent style in the Irving Park Historic District is
the Colonial Revival, including some more specific examples of the
Georgian and Federal Revivals. Excellent examples include the first
Robert Jesse Mebane House (#43), the Cummins A. Mebane House (#44),
the Lynn Williamson House (#24), and the first J. Spencer Love House
(#85). The related Neoclassical Revival style has several
representatives in Irving Park, the finest of which is the Aubrey L.
Brooks House (#45). It was designed by New York architect A. Raymond
Ellis and was featured in the March, 1915 issue of ARCHITECTURE
magazine.
The Colonial Revival was followed in popularity by the Tudor
Revival. Among the best representatives of the style in Irving Park
are the Carl I. Carlson House (#52), the Van Wyck Williams House
(#56), the Lawson L, Simmons House (#40), the Albert J. Klutz House
(#74), and the Irving Park Manor Apartments (#132). There are also
good examples of the Mediterranean Revival style, such as the Parran
Jarboe House (#127), the Charles C. -Hudson House (,7,67), and the Frank
H. Hope House (#70).
Two outstanding houses in the neighborhood show their strongest
influence from the combined Craftsman/Prairie styles. These are the
McAdoo -Sanders -Tatum House (4110) and the Alfred M. Scales House
(421). Bungalows are not present, for their scale was generally more
modest than those houses found in Irving Park.
Other period styles in the district include an example of the
Chateauesque style, seen in the Herman Cone House (#84), and the
French Eclectic style, among whose representatives is the Thornton
Brooks House (#46). Other houses date from the mid -twentieth century
and later, but none move far from the traditional in design.
Several houses in the Irving Park Historic District can be
associated more readily with their architect than with a specific
style. Such are three houses --the William Y. Preyer House (448), the
Alexander Worth McAlister House (#87), and the H. Smith Richardson
House (#97) --which were designed by Philadelphia architect Charles
Barton Keen. Keen commonly used such elements as stuccoed exterior
walls, green the roofs, heavy columns, and/or split side wings to
define a style all his own that was related in some ways to the
Colonial Revival and Craftsman styles. The second clubhouse of the
Greensboro Country Club, built ca. 1922, also appears likely to have

Architectural Description:
SEP 12 1994
Oue Amo.✓1.0 soja- jj
An analysis of the buildings in the Irving Park Historic District
reveals much about the various periods of building activity. Fifteen
houses were built prior to 1920, when the early stage of neighborhood
development was slow but respectable. A building boom arrived with
the early 1920s, during which time nearly one-third of primary
resources in the district were constructed. Growth during the second
half of the 1920s slowed, but was still strong. During the worst
years of the Depression (1932--1935), only three houses were built.
During the late 1930s and prior to -America's entry into World War II,
construction picked up significantly, so that this period (1936-1941)
became the second busiest for building in the neighborhood. Of all
primary resources in the Irving Park Historic District, 76% date from
prior to World War II. No construction took place in Irving Park
during the war, and during the remainder of the 1940s construction was
very slow. As post-war prosperity kicked in, so did construction, and
fifteen houses were built during the'1950s. These houses, however,
were generally different in character from those of earlier periods.
They tended to be smaller traditional or ranch houses. The mid
twentieth century was also a time when newer areas of Irving Park, not
included in the district, were developed. With little space remaining
in the older parts of Irving Park, only six buildings were erected
during the 1960s and 1970s. The 1980s saw eight new buildings.
Another way of looking at the make ---up of the existing houses in the
neighborhood is that only ten have been built during the last quarter
century, that is, since 1970.
Most houses in the Irving Park Historic District are two stories in
height, but some are only one -and -a -half stories, while others built
after the period of significance are only one story. There is a
fairly even distribution between frame and brick structures. The
houses are, on the average, large. Some are very large, though others
are of a more modest (though not small) size. Decoration is
characteristic of the styles represented in the neighborhood. The
quality of design and workmanship is particularly high. As an
affluent neighborhood, many of the houses are architect --designed, and
high-grade materials and workmanship could be afforded by owners. The
same is true of the two apartment complexes on the east side of N. Elm
Street.

Also due to the affluent nature of Irving Park, most buildings in
the district are in excellent condition. None is in less than good
condition. Most of the buildings retain .a strong degree of exterior
integrity. Although many have had some sort of additions and
alterations through the years, these have been the types of changes
commonly found on such houses. For the most part there have been few
alterations that have been unsympathetic to the architectural
character of the houses and so they have retained their architectural
integrity. (There is even very little use of aluminum or vinyl
siding.) This is reflected in the numbers of contributing and non-
contributing resources in the district. Of the total of all
resources ---including garages and other secondary buildings --67%
contribute to the historic character of the district, and of the 142
primary resources, 75% are contributing. Fewer than five resources
are non-contributing because of substantial character -changing
alterations. Rather, almost all non-contributing resources are such
because they were constructed outside the district's period of
significance.
Irving Park was a planned suburb, and plans by John Nolen and
Robert B. Cridland survive to show the whole area that was planned for
Irving Park. Not all of this area is included within the historic
district. Rather, the district represents the strongest concentration
of buildings from within the period of significance. There are other
good period buildings outside the boundaries of the district, but they
are scattered and not well connected to the concentrated district.
Most of the houses in Irving Park outside the district date from the
1950s or later and are, therefore, not representative of the qualities
which make the district significant.

The main entrance to Irving Park is flanked by the remains of a pair
of trolley shelters designed by Greensboro architect Raleigh
James Hughes. Each side of the drive has a pair of stone posts
of unequal height, the inner post incorporating a stone and
concrete bench and the outer post extended by a low stone wall
which curves at its junction with Elm Street. Originally each
set of posts was connected by a gabled roof which created shelter
for the trolley stop. Although the roofs no longer survive and
the posts have been shortened (retaining unequal heights), the
stonework continues to provide a handsome entrance to the

303 Wentworth Dr.
ca. 1915
Contributing building
The 1919 Sanborn map shows this house as the residence of J. P.
Sanders, and the 1922 city directory lists Sanders in Irving Park. By
1924 the house was illustrated in ART WORK OF PIEDMONT SECTION OF
NORTH CAROLINA as the residence of Benton B. Tatum. However, it was
probably initially the home of William D. McAdoo. He owned a large
tract of land, now bounded N. Elm Street, Cornwallis Drive, Granville
Street, and Irving Place, which he had laid out as "Country Club
Development" on a 1916 plat map. (Within several years this area had
been redesigned and included in Robert B. Cridland's revised and
expanded map of the Irving Park development.) On the 1916 plat, the
area south of Country Club Drive was labeled "W. D. McAdoo's Home."
The 191.5-16 and 1918-19 city directories suggest, as well, that this
could have been his home. The house is one of the most
architecturally interesting of those built during Irving Park's early -
years. Its design owes much to the Craftsman and Prairie styles. The
two --story frame. dwelling is weatherboarded on the first story and
wood -shingled on the second. Its outstanding roof is composed of a
series of symmetrically arranged low, sweeping hips with widely
overhanging eaves, all topped by a balustraded deck. A..broad wrap-
around porch features Tuscan columns set on granite plinths and a
plain balustrade. The granite is repeated in the chimneys. The
central door and sidelights are composed of leaded and beveled glass.
The house occupies a large corner lot with an east side garden.
GARAGE

At the rear of the property is an architecturally significant garage
which matches the house in its use of weatherboards, wood shingles,

Designed by prominent Greensboro architect Charles C. Hartmann, the
Country Club Apartments are architecturally distinctive in utilizing a
combination of classical and modern design features. The eighty-five
apartments are arranged in three separate white brick structures,
which are themselves arranged in a number of projecting and receding
sections to prevent visual monotony. Most sections have a modern flat
roof, but these are interrupted by sections with more traditional
gable roofs with chimneys and dormers. All sections have casement
windows, classical stone entrance surrounds, corbeled brick cornices
and string courses, and brick corner quoining. The buildings are
arranged around a park -like inner court with sidewalks, benches,
trees, and other plantings. Sunset Circles loops around the outside

Contributing site
The development of the Greensboro Country Club was an integral part of
the development of Irving Park. The club was incorporated on April 3,
1911. On April 22, 1911, the new club purchased 58.52 acres --which
became the core of the club --from A. M. Scales for $11,700. Covenants
were included in the deed which were designed to protect both the
country club in its development and A. M. Scales in his blossoming
residential development that was to become Irving Park. The golf
course opened in November 1912, and the first clubhouse on the site
was erected ca. 1913. During the next two decades, additional land was
added to the country club for expansion of the golf course, and the
club property in Irving Park now constitutes approximately 111 acres.
The development of the Greensboro Country Club and its recreational
facilities through the years has served to ensure that Irving Park
would become and remain a prestigious and exclusive residential area
in Greensboro. The country club is both the psychological and the
physical heart of Irving Park. A variety of resources listed below
are part of the Greensboro Country Club.

large one-story building with one -and -a -half -story center section and
a basement level. The building has a parapeted cornice, French doors
with segmental --arched transoms, and a classical front portico with a

Contributing site
The eighteen -hole golf course, located on the rolling hills around the
clubhouse, runs between Sunset Drive and Country Club Drive and
between Edgedale Road and Lafayette Avenue, except for a section which
runs southwest of Sunset Drive along either side of Lafayette Avenue.
It is not clear who laid out the original course --A. W. McAlister
himself may have had a hand in it --but by the mid 1920s the present
course had been designed.by premier American golf course architect
Donald J. Ross and was constructed between then and the end of the
decade. In 1932 the lake on the No. 13 fairway was built. Except for
changes to holes No. 13,-16, and 18, the course continues to reflect
Ross's design. Several small golf shelters are located along the
course.

summary:
O�BI„xz..diq 10]1-4711
Irving Park was developed as and remains Greensboro's premier park
suburb. The development of Greensboro's most prestigious neighborhood
began in 1911 when the newly incorporated Greensboro Country Club
purchased a tract of 58.52 acres from Alfred M. Scales. The following
year Scales began selling lots with restrictive covenants on the south
side of the country club property for the erection of high-income
housing. In 1914 the Irving Park Company was incorporated, and it
directed the successful continued development of the neighborhood from
that point to the Depression. Nationally acclaimed landscape
architect John.Nolen designed a comprehensive plan for Irving Park ca.
1914; around 1920, Philadelphia and Atlanta-based landscape architect
Robert B. Cridland enlarged and revised Nolen's plan. Irving Park's
plan emphasizes a park -like setting achieved by its curvilinear layout
of tree -lined boulevards and streets, central placement of the
Greensboro Country Club with its Donald Ross -designed eighteen -hole
golf course, and three small wooded parks ---The Meadow, The Dale, and
Hood Park. The whole is enhanced by rolling hills and Buffalo Creek
and its tributaries. During the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s Irving Park
saw some of the finest residential construction in Greensboro.
Excellent examples of the Colonial Revival, Neoclassical Revival,
Craftsman/Prairie, Tudor Revival, Mediterranean Revival, Chateauesque,
and French Eclectic styles architecturally represent the period of
significance, 1911-1941.. Many of these houses were designed by
prominent local and out-of-state architects, including A. Raymond
Ellis of New York, Charles Barton Keen of Philadelphia, and Charles C.
Hartmann, Raleigh James Hughes, William C. Holleyman, Jr. and Harry

Barton of Greensboro.
The Irving Park Historic District is associated with the historic
context "Modern Suburbanization and Industrialization of Greensboro,
1900-1941" as discussed in "Historic and Architectural Resources of
Greensboro, North Carolina, 1880-1.941." Within this context, it
fulfills Criterion A for Listing in the National Register because of
its local contributions in the area of community planning and
development. It fulfills Criterion C because of its architectural
significance and landscape architecture. Irving Park as a whole
fulfills the registration requirements outlined in "Historic and
Architectural Resources of Greensboro, North Carolina, 1880-1.941" for
residential neighborhoods in Greensboro as the best representative of
the picturesque suburb in the city. The majority of its resources
date from the neighborhood's period of significance and continue to
evoke the sense of a coherent community through winding streets and
planted boulevards, parks, building setbacks, and historic buildings
and structures. Other property types found within the Irving Park
Historic District include single-family private houses representing
early twentieth-century period revival styles such as the Colonial
Revival, Neoclassical Revival, Tudor -Revival, Mediterranean Revival,
and other styles; multiple --family dwellings represented by the Irving
Park Manor and Country Club apartments; parks, including the
Greensboro Country Club, The Meadow, The Dale, and Hood Park; bridges,
as exemplified by the well-preserved 1921 Elm Street Bridge; and the
stone entrance gates. For all of these property types, there is a
high degree of integrity in terms of location, -design, setting,
materials, workmanship, feeling, and association.
Historical Background:
The development of what was to became the Irving Park neighborhood
began with the April 3, 1911, incorporation of the Greensboro Country
Club. The two primary objectives of the club, as stated in its
Certificate of Incorporation, were 1) the promotion and encouragement
of outdoor and athletic games and exercises, including golf, tennis,
croquet, bowling, automobiling and all other forms of wholesome and
healthful sports, games and amusements; and 2) the development of the
property of the corporation for country homes and residences for its
members and other persons (Record of Incorporations Book F, 253-254).
To begin to accomplish these tasks, on April 22, 1911, the Greensboro
Country Club purchased 58.52 acres of land from Alfred M. and Bessie

T. Scales for $11,700. This land, known as the Scales farm, was
located west of N. Elm Street and north of Sunset Avenue (Deed Book
230, 21). It was described thusly in the GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS:
The property is on the crest of a ridge, and overlooks the city
from one of the highest elevations in the vicinity of Greensboro.
Situated in the midst of a beautiful forest of oak and pine and
having on it pure water and abundance of shade, makes the spot a
most inviting one and thoroughly adapted to the service to which it
would be put (GDN, March 7, 1911).
This particular property was chosen, in part, upon the assurances of
the Public Services Company that a street car line would be built to
within 400 yards of the club property (GDN, March 7, 1911). The deed
contained a set of restrictive covenants concerning the use of the
property that was designed to protect the investments of both the
country club and Scales. The deed also indicates that at least some
of the area had been laid out by civil engineer W. B. Trogdon (Deed
Book 230, 21).
A. M. Scales continued with his development plans. On December 5,
1911, he contracted with the city for a franchise and easement to
extend a water and sewer line to the area (Deed Book 236, 18). On May
29, Scales executed a group of deeds to such people as Aubrey L.
Brooks, Junius I. Scales, R. Jesse Mebane, H. R. Bush, and Cummins A.
Mebane for lots of land along the south side of Sunset Drive, as laid
out in a plat made by W. B. Trogdon Deed Book 236, 272--273, 294, 312-
313, 320, 330, 331, 688). A 1913 map of Greensboro suggests that
Trogdon's plat, referred to also in later deeds, covered the area west
of N. Elm Street between Sunset Drive and Meadowbrook Terrace to the
south, continuing along the south side of Sunset Drive to present-day
Briarcliff Road, and including on the north side of Sunset Drive the
1911 country club tract and continuing eastward along present-day
Irving Place to N. Elm Street (Brewer Map). Restrictive covenants
were placed on these deeds which set the tone and intent for the
quality of residential development that was to occur. Among these
covenants were that houses had to be valued at a minimum of $5,000;
only houses and domestic outbuildings could be constructed; houses
were required to have a front set -back of at least fifty feet and
could not come closer than fifteen feet to any side property line; and
no house could be built on a lot of less than one hundred Front feet.
It was also a condition of the deeds that the buyers agreed to begin

the construction of dwellings on their lots within one year from the
date of the deed. The deeds also made clear that, although these lots
were based on a plat drawn by W. B. Trogdon, Scales had the right to
make future changes to streets, roads, -and lanes in his overall
development although not to those onto which these properties abutted
(Deed Book 236, 312-313, and others cited above).
These first deeds reveal the kind of people who were to populate
the development that was to become Irving Park. Attorney Aubrey L.
Brooks was general counsel for the Jefferson Standard Life Insurance
Company. Junius I. Scales was also an attorney. R. J. Mebane was
second vice --president of North Carolina Trust Company, third vice-
president and assistant manager of Southern Life and Trust Company,
and treasurer of Greensboro Securities Company. C. A. Mebane was
vice-president of Southern Underwriters, and Harry R. Bush was
president of Dixie Fire Insurance Company (Irv_ing Park). This
preponderance of insurance men was no accident. Rather, it reflected
the successes of this industry in twentieth --century Greensboro. These
men were all charter members of the country club (GDN, March 7, 1911).
As the first houses in the neighborhood were being constructed in
1912-1913, activity was taking place'on another front. In November of
1912, the country club golf course opened (GCC Newsletter). In 1913,
the club built a clubhouse, a handsome wood -shingled structure with a
raised basement, a wrap-around porch with paired Tuscan columns, and a
low hipped roof with widely overhanging eaves and hipped dormers.
Projecting from the rear of the clubhouse was a bowling alley topped
by a pergola. _
On June 2, 1914, the Irving Park Company was incorporated with A.
M. Scales as a major stockholder (Record of Incorporations Book D,
424-425). This was the official birth of the company that was to lead
the development of Irving Park for the next several decades, although
the name "Irving Park" had appeared in a deed as early as March, 1913
Deed Book 245, 204-205).
The week after the incorporation, on June 9, 1914, A. M. Scales
sold to the Irving Park Company three tracts of land, with the
descriptive comment that "Out of these three tracts Irving Park has
been constructed...." The lands previously sold by Scales to the
Greensboro Country Club and to various individuals were excluded from
the conveyance, and further, the land was sold subject to the streets
already mapped out and "The Dale," a park previously created for the
use of the residents of Irving Park. Presumably, it was W. B. Trogdon
who had platted these streets and park (Deed Book 263, 81).

one of the first things the Irving Park Company did after
incorporation was to publish a promotional brochure. It listed A. W.
McAlister as president of the company. He was president of the Pilot
Life Insurance Company, first president of the Greensboro Country
Club, and is often credited with having brought golf to Greensboro.
Other officers listed were A. M. Scales, vice --president; R. G. Vaughn,
vice-president; and R. C. Hood, Secretary and Manager. Directors, in
addition to the officers, were W. E. Blair, R. J. Mebane, and H. L.
Coble. The brochure included photographs of the landscape of Irving
Park, several of the roads, the country club, and the stately houses
of its first residents. The brochure also extolled the merits of
living in Irving Park and described its present beauty as well as
plans for future development of the company's nearly 350 acres. The
"set of reasonable restrictions" to protect homeowners was another
topic of discussion. At the end of the brochure narrative, the
following announcement was made:
The leading landscape architect of the United State, Mr. John
Nolen, of Cambridge, Mass., has been employed to furnish plans for
and superintend the development of Irving Park (Irving Park).
John Nolen was one of America's most important early --twentieth-
century planning pioneers. In 1911 he designed Myers Park in
Charlotte, and this much -publicized plan was greatly admired around
the country. Those who could arrange for his planning services did so
(Myers park NRN). The Irving Park Company was one of the lucky
clients, and around 1914-1915 Nolen designed a plan for Irving Park.
This plan incorporated the earlier work of W. B. Trogdon, but was much
more comprehensive in scope. The plan covered almost all of present-
day Irving Park, from N. Elm Street westward to Battleground Avenue,
with curvilinear roads, parks, large lots, and landscape plantings
(Nolen Plan).
In May of 1914 John Nolen spent several days in Greensboro.
Following his visit, he made a brief report to the city on his general
impressions of Greensboro, along with recommendations concerning the
more obvious problems of city development and improvement (Nolen
Report). In 1917 Nolen was invited back by the Chamber of Commerce to
give a pep talk to the city's business and professional leaders on the
importance of city planning. Because of heavy previous commitments,
he was not making a bid for the preparation of a city plan for
Greensboro. Nevertheless, he did advise that such a plan be

undertaken (GDN, February 22, 1917). (The city proceeded to hire
Charles Mulford Robinson, major proponent of the City Beautiful
Movement, but he died before his plan could be completed.)
Perhaps because of Nolen's commitments elsewhere, he apparently
ceased his design work for the Irving Park Company by the end of the
1910s. In his place, they hired Robert B. Cridland around 1920 to
prepare additions and revisions to John Nolen's plan (Cridland Plan).
Cridland was a landscape architect from Philadelphia and Atlanta, who
had formerly worked for the Thomas Meehan firm outside Philadelphia.
In 1916 the Vanderbilts engaged Cridland to work at their Hyde Park
estate overlooking the Hudson River in New York. Between then and
1934 he developed new designs for each area of the formal gardens,
along with other design work on the estate (Vanderbilt Mansion
Report). In 1918 Cridland published PRACTICAL LANDSCAPE GARDENING, an
enormously popular book which had gone through three editions and nine
printings by 1929.
Robert Cridland's plan for Irving Park added the area of the
neighborhood located north of Irving Place and east of Granville Road:
This area had been previously owned by W. D. McAdoo, who in 1916 had
had a plat drawn for the area, labeled as Country Club Development.
Apparently McAdoo sold his property to the Irving Park Company instead
of consummating his plan. Revisions to Nolen's plan included such
changes as the re -drawing of some streets, the realignment of some
lots, and the design of Hood Park with curvilinear walkways. While
Cridland's plan made some changes to Nolen's, the general concept
remained the same. The same sorts of changes were later made to
Cridland's plan, though the dates and authorship of these changes are
not known. Most of these minor changes took place in areas to the
north, west, and south of the historic distract which were not
actually developed until mid-century.
on November 5, 1921, the Greensboro Country Club suffered the loss
of its clubhouse to fire. The directors immediately decided to
rebuild, and the following year a new clubhouse was erected (GDN,
November 6, 1921). The architect of this clubhouse is not documented,
but stylistically it appears to have been the work of Philadelphia
architect Charles Barton Keen, who also designed the A. W. McAlister
House (#87), the H. Smith Richardson House (1197), and the William Y.
Preyer House (448) in Irving Park. By the end of the 1920s, the club
had also instituted a plan for the golf course designed by America's
premier golf course architect, Donald J. Ross. These actions on the
part of the country club reflected their positive position on the

present and future status of both the country club and the
neighborhood.
In fact, the 1920s were boom years for•affluent Irving Park. The
heaviest period of building in the neighborhood's history took place
in the first half of the 1920s, with construction continuing, but to a
lesser degree, during the second half of the decade. The Depression,
however, affected Irving Park as elsewhere, and construction all but
halted. Irving Park Company, itself, went into receivership, and
remaining land began to be liquidated to pay the company's debts
(Weill Interview). Although house construction picked up
significantly during the second half of the 1930s, in 1940 the Irving
Park Company was dissolved (Records of Corporations, Book Q, 531).
Throughout its period of significance (1911--1941), Irving Park was
the construction site of many of the finest houses in Greensboro.
Many were architect -designed and serve as excellent representatives of
the various architectural styles popular during the period. The
Colonial Revival, along with the related Neoclassical Revival, was the
most frequently built style. Prime examples include the homes of R.
J. and C. A. Mebane (#43 & 44), Lynn Williamson (#24 - Charles C.
Hartmann), J. Spencer Love (485), and Aubrey L. Brooks (#45 - A.
Raymond Ellis). The second most popular style in the neighborhood was
the Tudor Revival, exemplified by the Carl I. Carlson House (452), the
Van Wyck Williams House (#56), the Albert J. Klutz House (#74), and
the Irving Park Manor Apartments (#132). The Mediterranean Revival
was also well -represented. Of particular note are the Parran Jarboe
House (#127 - Raleigh James Hughes), the Charles C. Hudson House (#67
- Charles C. Hartmann), and the Frank H. Hope House (#70). The
McAdoo -Sanders -Tatum House (#110) and the Page -Scales House (#21) are
both fine examples of the combined Craftsman/Prairie styles. The
Herman Cone House (#84 - William C. Holleyman, Jr.) is an excellent,
but lone example of the Chateauesque style. In the late 1930s,
several houses were built that could be described best as French
Eclectic. The Thornton Brooks House (#46 - William C. Holleyman, Jr.)
serves as a good representative of these houses. In addition to the
above mentioned dwellings and those previously described as the work
of architect Charles Barton Keen, many others throughout the district
contribute to its significant character.
During World War II, no construction took place in Irving Park, and
during the second half of the 1940s construction was slow. When
building picked up again, its character was different. Houses tended
to be smaller and represented newer styles. Since mid-century, most

of the building activity in the Irving Park neighborhood has taken
place outside the boundaries of the historic district. The few houses
which have been built within the district since mid-century are
upscale and do not constitute intrusions to the character of 'the
district. Consequently, the Irving Park Historic District has
remained strongly representative of the earlier periods of its
development.

Boundary Justification:
The boundary of the Irving Park Historic District was drawn to
include that part of the Irving Park neighborhood which possesses
the strongest concentration of resources from the district's period
of significance, 1911-1941. Beyond the boundary, the resources are
predominantly representative of the neighborhood's post -1950
development.
