This home, located at 210 West Fisher Avenue, is a Fisher Park beauty. It was built in 1909 and, from the photo, looks like it is on a sleepy street in a secluded neighborhood. Actually, the home is located on a busy road that connects Battleground Avenue with downtown. The owners have done a fabulous job of keeping the historic flavor of this 103-year-old home. As seen in the photo, the front sports vintage details like woodwork, screen doors, lace curtains, and a grand rap-around porch. The owners are already preparing for enjoying spring afternoons. The pristine white rockers, wicker furniture, and round table are all ready for receiving guests. West Fisher Avenue has only a handful of private residences remaining and this is a glorious one.
Fisher Park, home to Green Hill Cemetery, First Presbyterian and Holy Trinity Espscopal churches, was Greensboro's first neighborhood. In 1901, Captain Basil J. Fisher donated land. Shortly thereafter, a trolley line was established and ran through the neighborhood which quickly became "the epicenter of Greensboro's cultural elite".* Today, we're sharing 210 West Fisher Avenue with our Skywatch Friday friends.
Beautiful!
Regards and best wishes
