The Forest Hills Historic District, Durham’s first automobile suburb, developed in 1923, is loc= ated in southern Durham a little over a mile from the central business district.= The district, approximately 245 acres in size, has some sixty block faces, alth= ough the curvilinear character of the street plan sometimes makes separate blocks difficult to distinguish. It is bounded on the north by Lakewood Avenue, We= lls Street, Bivins Street, Shepherd Street, Forest Hills Park, and Overhill Ter= race. The Morehead Hill Historic District Boundary Increase [NR 2004] adjoins a portion of the district on the north side. The west side of the American Tobacco Trail, a bicycle/walking path built in the late 1990s, creates the = east boundary. It is the site of the railroad tracks built by the American Tobac= co Company in the 1930s. The south bounday, consisting of Beverly Drive, the r= ear boundary of the lots on the south side of Forestwood Drive and University Drive, and the south property line of 2113 Summit Street, separates the district from post-1960 subdivisions. Post-1945 housing occupies the blocks west of Kent Street, the west boundary.
The Forest Hills Historic District contains 244 houses built between 1923 and 1955 that contribute to= the significance of the district. The former golf clubhouse is the only nonresidential building. There are fifty-= nine noncontributing houses, all but four built after 1955. Sixty-six outbuildin= gs, primarily garages and sheds, were built before 1960 and are contributing resources. Forty-four outbuildings were built after 1955. The three contributing sites are the subdivision plan, Forest Hills Park, and Pinecre= st estate’s gardens. Contributing structures are the concrete bridge carrying East Forest Hills Boulevard over Third Fork Creek, the swimming po= ol and tennis court at Pinecrest, 1044 and 1050 West Forest Hills Boulevard, a= nd the pool at the Evans House, 1401 Forestview Street. Most of the six noncontributing structures are in Forest Hills Park. Seventy-four percent of the total resources contribute to the architectural significance of the district.
Forest Hills was designed= in 1917 by noted landscape architect Earle Sumner Draper as part of a larger subdivision that was never built. In 1923, trimmed to its present size, the streets were constructed along the undulating hills and creek bottoms on bo= th sides of the New Hope Valley Road (renamed University Drive at this time). University Drive, the main artery through the district, extends northeast to southwest through the center of the district. The bottomland along the cree= ks on both sides of the main road is Forest Hills Park, a golf course from 192= 3 to 1929. Forest Hills Park, divided into three main sections by district stree= ts, occupies about one-third of the total acreage in the district. At 1639 University Drive, the frame, Colonial Revival-style golf clubhouse, designe= d by architect George Watts Carr, is now used as a public park recreation center. The largest section of the park, on the east side of University Drive, has a modern swimming pool, tennis courts, picnic shelter, and playground cluster= ed around the former clubhouse. The rest of this section, as well as the kidney-shaped section perpendicular to University Drive, are well-kept, woo= ded greenways with large hardwood trees, shrubs, and lawns. A creek flows throu= gh the center of each segment of the park, and small modern wooden footbridges span the waterway at intervals.
The subdivision plan (contributing site) contains landscape features that set it apart as an exclusive residential enclave. Its sylvan suburban character is completely unlike the densely developed grid of the historic neighborhoods surrounding= the Durham business district. Most of Forest Hill’s streets are laid out = in picturesque curves, with granite curbstones and concrete sidewalks. Streets have asphalt paving. A portion of Cedar Street is a gravel road. Most lots = are large, and the houses are set far back from the street with large trees. St= one or brick retaining walls edge many of the front property lines, and paths of stepping stones lead up to the entrances of many houses.
In the north section of t= he district, on the largest hill on the west side of University Drive, a large oval street containing twelve interior lots and about eighteen perimeter lo= ts is named Hermitage Court. Homer Street extends from the west center of Hermitage Court, and Hermitage Court Drive extends from the east center. On= a hill on the east side of University Drive, a circular street containing abo= ut a dozen pie-shaped lots, with an equal number of lots on the perimeter of the circle, is named Carolina Circle. Just north of Carolina Circle is Overhill Terrace, a short L-shaped street occuping the high ground above East Forest Hills Boulevard. Forest Hills Boulevard curves along the edges of the park, with large house sites occupying the uphill slopes overlooking the park. To= the west of University Drive, the road is called West Forest Hills Boulevard, on the east, East Forest Hills Boulevard. The older city streets of Arnette Av= enue and Shepherd Street extend into the Forest Hills subdivision on the north s= ide. On the west side of University Drive, two streets containing large lots loop out from the park—Oak Drive and Westwood Drive.
University Drive and the = streets below Oak Drive and East Forest Hills Boulevard in the south section of the district have smaller lots and a more urban plan. While University Drive to= the north contains medium-sized lots in the 1600 block overlooking the park, its 1800 to 2300 blocks in the south section have smaller lots. Briar Cliff Road and Forestwood Drive loop out from the golf course. Sycamore Street and Starlight Drive are straight streets extending west of University Drive. Ce= dar Street, along the west boundary, contains a combination of lot sizes. About 1951 the large Beverly Drive loop was added to the subdivision’s southeast corner. At that time the creek bottomland between Beverly Drive a= nd Forestwood Drive became another section of the Forest Hills Park.
In 1923 the New Hope Real= ty Company built the first houses in the district, a small group of speculative houses designed by architect George Watts Carr. The only one positively identified in the 1923 group is 1614 University Drive, a small frame Tudor Revival cottage. About the same time larger custom-built houses were erecte= d in Forest Hills. The custom houses are predominantly two-story brick Colonial Revival-style (often called Georgian Revival) houses. Each of the custom ho= uses is unique, but all follow a general form: three bays wide (occasionally five bays wide), with side-gable roofs, gable end chimneys, a classical entrance porch, and flanking one-story side porches or sunrooms. A sizeable number of the custom houses are substantial brick&nb= sp; Tudor Revival-style houses, with stone trim and small front or side porches with medieval-style posts.
The following list includ= es most of the custom-built 1920s houses in the district. Nearly all of the houses = on Hermitage Court were built in the 1920s. The 1920s houses on West Forest Hi= lls Boulevard include the ca. 1925 Dr. Coppidge House (1024), and Pinecrest (10= 50). Pinecrest, a Tudor Revival house built in 1927 for developer James O. Cobb, stands on a thirteen-acre estate. Along East Forest Hills Boulevard, the 19= 20s houses include the Bugg House (410), Harris House (504), Brooks House (706), and R= ippe House (814). Oak Drive’s early houses are the Long House (11); George Watts Carr Sr. House (15); Webb-Fuller House (17); Seeman House (19); Kramer House (21); Worth House (27); Alexander House 2 (24); and Council House (26= ). Other 1920s houses are the Dr. Roberson House, 120 Briar Cliff Road; Airhea= rt House, 1016 Homer Street; Clements House, 1022 Homer Street; Alexander Hous= e 1, 1622 University Boulevard, and Gattis House, 1410 Arnette Avenue.
Thirteen of these Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival-style 1920s houses are identified as the designs = of architect George Watts Carr. He probably designed a number of the others. T= he Colonial Revival designs are large, two-story brick houses with small entra= nce porches and flanking side porches. The Tudor Revival designs are picturesque brick and frame houses with decorative porches, half-timbered gables, and b= ay windows. His documented houses are his own home at 15 Oak Drive; the Long House, 11 Oak Drive; Webb-Fuller House, 17 Oak Drive; Ruffin House, 25 Oak Drive; Worth House, 27 Oak Drive; Alexander House, 24 Oak Drive; Branson Ho= use, 1552 Hermitage Court; Dr. Adams Jr. House, 1526 Hermitage Court; Dimmitt Ho= use, 1522 Hermitage Court; Professor Gilbert House, 503 Compton Place; James O. = Cobb House (Pinecrest), 1050 West Forest Hills Boulevard; and Bugg House, 410 Ea= st Forest Hills Boulevard.
At the same time the large custom-designed houses were rising in Forest Hills, smaller but stylish Tud= or Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival, and Colonial Revival houses were constructed, possibly built from mail-order plans, on the smaller lots along the south end of University Drive and elsewhere in Forest Hills. 2203 University Drive is a picturesque stone cottage with arched door and windows and a front stone terrace. 2304 University Drive is a one-story brick Colon= ial Revival-style house with an arched entrance porch and brick walls extending= out from each corner of the façade.
The bungalow house type a= ppears rarely in the district. A few simple frame bungalows were built in the south section of Forest Hills in the 1920s, such as at 2106 and 2310 University Drive. At 110 Briar Cliff Road is a gabled bungalow with engaged porch. At = 1013 Sycamore Street is a substantial gabled bungalow with engaged porch. The earliest known owner, Albert Wilkerson, may have been a contractor.
One farmhouse stands in t= he district, the Cole House at 2113 Summit Drive. Built about 1925, the large bungalow with a gabled roof, wraparound porch, and a large front dormer win= dow, was apparently the residence of Edgar W. Cole. With its two-acre site and traditional smokehouse, barn, and shed, it is a remarkably well-preserved pocket of rural character on the south edge of the district. It is included= in the district boundary as the only surviving example of the farmhouses that characterized the land prior to its development as Forest Hills.
Although the Depression s= lowed construction in the district in the early 1930s, almost as many houses, both custom-designed and speculative, were erected on the empty lots in Forest H= ills in the later 1930s as had been built in the 1920s. Several streets, such as Homer Street, largely achieved their present appearance during this late 19= 30s burst of construction. The 1930s houses continue the popular styles of the 1920s—Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival. The homely bungalow lived o= n, and the new Cape Cod style (a simplified, one-story Colonial with a side-ga= bled roof with dormers) and the even simpler Minimal Traditional version of the Colonial appeared on the streets of the district.
Large custom-designed Col= onial Revival-style houses continued to define the character of the district in t= he late 1930s. H. Raymond Weeks designed the large brick Colonial Revival house with a pedimented façade at 28 Oak Drive for Egbert Haywood. The John McGurk House, 32 Oak Drive, is a large brick Colonial with a full portico. George Watts Carr designed three of the largest houses in the district duri= ng this era. He designed the rambling frame Colonial house at 29 Oak Drive in = 1937 for Samuel McPherson. Carr modified plans from the The New York Times newspaper for contractor William Muirhead’s stately Neoclassical Revival-style brick house with stone = trim and Modernist wings, built in 1938 at 1010 Homer Street. Carr designed the largest house in the district at 1810 Cedar Street for John Buchanan about 1940. The Colonial style house is a series of two-story blocks of brick and frame, with a variety of lower wings that step down a ridge on a spacious wooded property. In 1938 an adaptation of Mount Vernon was built for Samuel Mangum at 1025 Westwood Drive. Other large Colonial Revival residences of t= he era generally follow the symmetrical two-story brick or frame forms of the 1920s houses. They include Dr. Nichols Jr. House, 1626 University Drive; Dr. Hicks House, 413 Carolina Circle; Skinner House, 1517 Hermitage Court; Griswold House, 1540 Hermitage Court; Yarbrough House, 1607 Hermitage Court; Harris House, 804 Hermitage C= ourt Drive (designed by Carr); Noble House, 805 Hermitage Court Drive; and the Simpson House, 807 Hermitage Court Drive.
Large Tudor Revival house= s of brick and stone, with bay windows, slate roofs, and medieval-style windows, remained popular in the late 1930s. An example is the Thomas A. Stokes Hous= e, 506 East Forest Hills Boulevard (Nelson & Cooper, architects). The Tudor Cottage, a smaller variation of the style with simpler Tudor features, such= as a half-timbered front gable and an arched entrance, were frequently built in the district. An example is the John R. Bagwell House, 218 Forestwood Drive= . In the late 1930s, much construction occurred at James O. Cobb’s Tudor mansion. Mrs. Mary Duke Biddle began in 1935 to remodel it with sunroom and terrace additions and lighter, brighter colors. In 1936 she had a chauffeur’s cottage of Tudor design built to match the house. Her designer, Karl Bock of New York City, also designed extensive gardens on the estate.
More moderately-sized Col= onial Revival houses of the 1930s include the Fred Owen House, 1012 Homer Street,= an authentic New England cottage of stone and wood shingles, the Herman Rhineh= art House, 1020 Homer Street, a two-story brick side-hall plan; the David Scanl= on Jr. House, 1011 Homer Street, a two-story frame with side garage wing; Gord= on K. Ogburn’s brick one and one-half story house at 1500 Shepherd Stree= t; and the one and one-half story brick house of Devere Mangum, 1027 Starlight Drive. In 1939 architect Archie Davis designed a modified Colonial Revival house for Virgil Ashbaugh Sr. at 1022 Westwood Drive that uses traditional forms creatively. For example the side porch roof extends across the façade as a pent roof that shelters the entrance.
Among the small brick Tud= or and Period Cottages and Minimal Traditional houses built during the late 1930s = in the district are 1010, 1014, 1022, and 1024 Starlight Drive; 1020 Sycamore Street; 1606, 2308, and 2312 University Drive, and 720 Overhill Terrace. The Dr. Walter L. Thomas House, 415 Carolina Circle is a 1938 Tudor Cottage. Th= e D. Wilson Uzzle House, 1004 West Forest Hills Boulevard, is in the Cape Cod st= yle.
After the hiatus of the W= orld War II years, pent-up demand for housing resulted in the completion of the streetscapes of Forest Hills from 1945 to ca. 1955. Post-war construction varied in character from a continuation of the traditional Colonial Revival= , to the new “Williamsburg Colonial,” a one or one and one-half-stor= y, Southern version of the Colonial style that often features wings connected = by hyphens, to the inexpensive last phase of the Colonial Revival, the Minimal Traditional, that had appeared in the late 1930s. In 1949 the first Ranch h= ouse was built in the district for the H. C. Cranford family at 120 Forestwood Drive. About 1950 the first split-level houses appeared. Two young architec= ts in George Watts Carr’s firm, his son Robert W. Carr, and Joseph D. Rivers, built split-level houses with simple, modernist details at 405 and = 403 Carolina Circle.
A group of Modernist hous= es appeared during this post-war period. They are characterized by low, streamlined forms, a variety of wall materials, bands of windows, the use of carports, and the absence of classical ornament. Robert W. Carr was trained= in modern design. The second home he designed for his own family in the distri= ct, at 73 Beverly Drive, was built in 1952. It features a prominent Modernist carport in the front. He designed a striking two-story brick and frame Modernist house for the Goldner family at 602 East Forest Hills Boulevard a= bout 1955. For Dillard Teer he designed one of the most spectacular Modernist ho= uses in the district, at 43 Beverly Drive, in 1955. For his family and friends on Beverly Drive--cousin Albert Carr, 69 Beverly Drive, brother George W. Carr Jr., 3 Beverly Drive, and Kenneth Royall, 64 Beverly Drive, he designed traditional two-story brick colonial houses in the early 1950s.
Other architects also des= igned Modernist houses in the Forest Hills Historic District in the 1950s. New Yo= rk City architect Sol Edelbaum designed a large split-level house with International Style and Frank Lloyd Wright features at 1401 Forestview Stre= et in 1950 for prominent merchant Eli N. Evans and his family. Architect Yancey Milburn lived in a Modernist house at 1028 Sycamore Street in the 1950s tha= t he may have designed for himself.
The three most popular ho= use types of the 1950s—the brick Ranch, the brick Colonial Revival-style house, and the Modernist house —continued to be built throughout the decade and into the 1960s. After 1955 the houses of these styles become noncontributing because they are less than fifty years old and do not meet National Register criteria for architectural significance.
Most of the sixty-one noncontributing houses are infill houses, scattered throughout the district= on the few vacant lots remaining after 1955. At 32 and 40 Beverly Drive are a = pair of one-and-two-story brick Modernist houses apparently built from mail-order plans. The Dr. Singletary House (32) is a streamlined 1957 side-gabled desi= gn with an overhanging upper story and metal casement and picture windows. The Alexander House (40), built for the son of Stewart Alexander about 1960, has similar features, with a more strongly contemporary flat roof. Several fine= 1960s contemporary houses stand on Beverly Drive. Architect Archie Royal Davis designed his own house at 52 Beverly Drive about 1960. The gabled split-lev= el house has brick and wood-shingled walls and large areas of glass. At 81 Bev= erly Drive, the E. K. Powe Jr. House, built in the early 1960s, is a striking flat-roofed house with a tall glazed center block, and lower front-projecti= ng wings.A number of noncontributing houses are modest brick Ranch houses and split level houses, such as the house at 68 Beverly Drive, a frame split-le= vel house built in 1961. Several late twentieth century traditional houses were built in the 600 and 700 blocks of East Forest Hills Boulevard. A group of contemporary passive solar houses were built about 1975 in the 1200 and 130= 0 blocks of Bivins Street. On six of the outer lots of Carolina Circle, Ranch houses, traditional and contemporary houses were built in recent years.
Four houses have lost the= ir contributing status due to substantial alterations. The Thomas-Sorrell Hous= e, 1410 Bivins Street, was built during the period of significance, in 1950, but received extensive additions in the 1960s that resulted in the loss of its original architectural integrity. The Harward House, 204 Forestwood Drive, = was built about 1940, and received a large addition and extensive remodeling ab= out the year 2000. The Lockhart House, 1527 Hermitage Court, lost its architect= ural integrity with a substantial remodeling that replaced the entrance porch and windows and added a new wing. The Griswold House, 1614 University Drive, has wall stucco not in keeping with its original character.
Note: List is arranged alphabetic= ally, by street name, north side first, then south side; west side first, then ea= st side. Buildings are of frame construction unless otherwise stated. Dates and names of houses are derived from the following primary and secondary source= s. The primary sources are the 1937 Sanborn Map [1937 SM]; Durham City Directo= ries dating from 1930 to 1960 (CDs); and interviews. The major secondary source = is The Durham Architectural and Historic Inventory by Claudia P. Roberts and Diane E. Lea, 1982 [Durham A & HI].
Dating Methodology: Dates of construction are derived from a sampling of the Durham City Directories beginning in 1930, the first year that street listings for most of the dist= rict are included. Each street address was tracked in 1930, 1935-36, 1940, 1945-= 46, 1950, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, and 1960 to determine when it was inclu= ded in the directory. The date of its first appearance in a city directory is n= oted as the approximate construction date of the house. If a street address does= not appear in the 1955 directory, that building is assumed to be noncontributing due to age. The date of any house built prior to 1930 is based on an educat= ed guess related to its construction features and style or on information supp= lied during an interview or published source. Houses that first appear in the 19= 30 directory are dated as "ca. 1930," houses that appear in the 1935 directory are dated as "ca. 1935," and so on.
Names of houses are based on the earliest known owner-occupant, or on the name of the owner-occupant who liv= ed in the house for the longest period of time prior to 1955, the end of the period of significance. The first directory in the sample that differentiat= es owner-occupants from tenants is 1940. Houses are not named after individuals who are assumed to have been tenants. Owner-occupants identified in the 1940 directory were searched backward in the alphabetical listings of the directories to determine when they occupied the house.
Contributing/Noncontributing Status: All buildings are categorized as C (contributing) or NC (noncontributing) based on the following criteria. Contributing buildings w= ere constructed prior to 1956. They also retain sufficient integrity of design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association to contribute to = the historic character of the district. Any building built after the end of the period of significance, in 1955, is noncontributing due to its age (NC-age). Buildings built before 1955 that have lost their architectural integrity because of substantial additions and/or alterations incompatible with their historic character are categorized as noncontributing because of these chan= ges (NC-alt.). Examples of this are complete window, door, and porch replacemen= ts; artificial siding that obscures the original door, window, wall and eave detailing, and extensive post-1955 additions. Artificial siding such as aluminum, vinyl or asbestos shingles does not automatically render a buildi= ng noncontributing if it retains its historic form and other early features su= ch as window sashes and a porch.
