The above house was the last one on the Lindley Park Walking Tour, hosted by Preservation Greensboro this past Wednesday. It was one of the smaller homes, but it holds faithful to the original requirement of the neighborhood for houses be set back from the street. Built after World War II, when Greensboro, like many cities in the United States, was experiencing a housing boom.
The facade of the house features Japanese influences, evoking the sense of a Japanese tea house. During the tour, a woman ran up to the door and knocked. We soon learned that her friend lived there. The friend didn't appear to be home. But then again, what would you do if someone knocked on your door and there were fifty people outside? If only we'd practiced a song, we could have started singing. It was a lovely evening and a fantastic tour. By the end of it, this group of people- united with the singular interest of getting to know more about our great city- just might have been willing to burst out in song. Happy Saturday!
What a pretty home!
