House on East Lee Street

We wish we knew more about this house on East Lee Street. At one time, it must have been grand. The arched headers above the windows are quite an interesting architectural detail. The house looks as if it has been around since the 1800's and, at one time, was part of an estate.  As you approach the house, it becomes obvious that it is in need of some tender loving care, even some relocating as it is on the side of busy Lee Street. Finally, were the photo in color, you would see the red bed sheets serving as curtains and that they match the reddish-brown roof. This house is a poster house for "If these walls could talk."  If you know the history of this property, do share. In the meantime, we'll try to find out.

This is our black and white shot to kick off a new week and is our contribution to Alieni's Monochrome Weekly!

It would make a nice home for a large family.

With a little updating, it can be beautiful once again.

It's a big suburban house. But slapdash bedsheets as curtains tell of a lack of the feminine touch maybe.

A shame to see these grand old houses go to ruin. After a while I guess they become too expensive to fix.

Pretty landscape .. it would work as a postcard

One way to track occupancy is to use the Greensboro City Directories for turn of the century. They are available at the G'boro Public Library main location in the Greensboro history locked section. I doubt the house dates much earlier than that, or probably would not have changed ownership that oftec. Good Luck!

That would be a fun house to fix up given the money and time.
