603 RAMSEUR STREET

Wendy Watson was kind enough to let me scan the above photo of her grandmother's house at 603 Ramseur Street. Her grandmother, Mary Frances Reams Graves, lived in the house during the mid-20th century. Her grandmother's grandfather was Henry Reams, who ran the first tobacco auction house in Durham - located where the Hill Warehouse on the American Tobacco Campus is now.

Ramseur St. was developed during the late 19th century and first decade of the 20th century. The 1891 Bird's Eye shows the street more developed on the southern side vs. the northern.

Although this house was not in place in 1891, the street was called Reams Avenue (later South Elizabeth) and #28 is listed as "H Reams, Tobacco Dealer". So the land on which the house was built likely belonged to the Reams family.


Looking southwest at the residential development of these blocks that still existing in the 1950s.

By 1959, industrial uses and the expansion of Carpenter Chevrolet had started to eliminate the residential character of the neighborhood.

Happy 130 Durham County!

130 years young is Durham County today, born of ?proud? parents Wake and Orange Counties, February 28th, 1881. So, D-Count - where's the party?

1301-1303 HOLLOWAY STREET

1301-1303 Holloway Street, 10.02.10

I love the patterned tin shingles on the polygonal roofs of these two houses on Holloway Street - this is emblematic of the kind of great architectural detail that was intact on a widespread basis in East Durham until ~10 years ago.

In the 1920s, JR Enoch lived at 1301 and RJ Sherron lived at 1303.

This kind of crafted historic detail is rapidly being lost through window tear-outs, vinylization, replacement of roofs like these with asphalt shingle, and demolition.

1402 HOLLOWAY / ROWLAND-GREGORY HOUSE / AGAPE SCHOOL

1402 Holloway, 1980

Per the Historic Inventory:

The earliest known owner of this vernacular Neoclassical Revival style frame house was Mrs. Mary F. Rowland. The principal stylistic elements of the two-story hip-roofed house consist of Doric columns supporting the wraparound porch and porte cochere, a Palladian window in the attic dormer on the main facade, and the pedimented gables of the shallow wings on the side elevations. Retaining its original tall chimneys and slate roof, the house is prominently situated on a very large corner lot and surrounded by mature hardwoods. It is popularly known locally for its subsequent owners, the Bonnie M. Gregory family, owners of the Rite-Way Laundry on Angier Ave.

The house has been remuddled a good bit since that time. It appears it came under ownership of the Agape School in 1986, so presumably the school did it. Such would seem confirmed by their recent Home Depot-esque garish remodel of the house at 1217 Holloway - otherwise known as the red-roof-you-can-see-from z=15 on Google Maps.

JOSEPH HOLLOWAY HOUSE

Joseph Holloway House - late 1980s.

Per the Durham County Historic Inventory:

In the middle 1880's, Joseph A. Holloway married Agnes Mozelle Hicks and built an impressive two-story Triple-A I-house on the foundations of an earlier Morgan family dwelling that had burned. The Holloways utilized a wealth of Italianate architectural details that distinguish their house from plainer Durham County farmhouses of the same period and are similar to those found on the Cleveland Bragg House nearby. Notable decorative elements include paired eave brackets, a paneled frieze board, a double-leaf entry door with rounded glazed panels, pedimented door and window surrounds with decorative appliqués, ornate porch columns, and a porch balustrade with turned spindles. An ell at the rear of the house was extended to join a kitchen with the main block in the early twentieth century .

Redwood Road bisects the Holloway farmstead separating the house, two frame storage buildings, and a chicken house, from a barn and a one-room gable-front store on the other side of the road. The Holloways’ grandson, Harold Holloway, reports that the store was a small family venture operated from the end of the nineteenth century until 1938. Morgan and Holloway family cemeteries, southeast of the house, are protected by nineteenth-century cast-iron fences. The Morgan graves are not marked, and the earliest marker in the Holloway cemetery is for William Alexander Holloway, son of Joseph and M. A. Holloway, who died in 1892.

JAMES W CREECH SR HOUSE / 4115 REDWOOD ROAD

James Creech Sr. House, 1980

The Herald-Sun ran a story on 2.10.2011 about fire heavily damaging a house in northeastern Durham County on 2.9.2011. The house was the James Creech, Sr. house on Redwood Road. As I've written previously regarding houses 'out in the county', many of them are a good bit older than the in-city structures I more typically write about. Although the Herald noted that the house was "almost 200 years old", it probably was closer to 150 years old.

The State Historic Preservation Office archives have this information about Creech and his house, written as of ~1980:

James W. Creech, Sr. (1867-1937), and his wife Josephine (1864-1948), had six children,
including five daughters and one son, James Jr., who lived on Creech Road after starting his
own family.

When the parents became elderly, and needed help on the farm, the James Creech, Jr. family returned. After Josephine Creech died in 1948, the property was sold to the Herndon family. It was then acquired by James Creech Jr.'s son-in-law, David E. Holder, who had married Volesta Creech. While the farm belonged to the Holders, some of the land was acquired by the government for the construction of Falls Lake. Finally, the property was purchased about thirty years ago by Addle Maynard, the current owner.

Creech's residence began as a late nineteenth century log house having an engaged porch, part of which was subsequently enclosed. This portion of the dwelling has long since been covered with weatherboards. A frame addition consists of a gabled portion perpendicular to the original dwelling, with a front ell. The gables are finished simply without returns and the six-over-six, double-hung windows are set in simple frames. The addition features one brick interior chimney and one exterior end chimney, while the original house has an exterior end chimney of stuccoed fieldstone topped with a brick stack.

The entrance door incorporates two vertical glass panes and is fitted with an early screen door. Within the structure, five and six panel doors and plain vernacular mantels remain in place but wall and ceiling finishes are obscurred by modern replacement material A long lane leads through the farm's group of outbuildings to the Creech and Holder family cemetery in the woods behind the housewhere James W. Creech, Sr. and his wife Josephine are buried. A small two story frame barn has an attached shed and a corn crib nearby. Other storehouses and sheds are also of frame construction.

The Herald-Sun story notes that the original part of the house may have been used as a post office for the Redwood area at one time.

House fire, 02.09.2011

Unfortunately, the house was destroyed. The Redwood fire department noted that fire fighting was delayed by waiting for water tankers to arrive from other volunteer fire departments.

There are many 19th century structures in rural areas of the county that stay off most people's radar screen (vs., say, a Stagville.) A loss like this highlights the fragility of these structures, and the history tied to them. The land has now been cleared, although some outbuildings remain.

Antioch Baptist Church, 10.02.10

The Holloway Street Baptist Church was established in 1941. I'm not sure of the construction date of this building, which appears to be newer. It does appear to have been built prior to 1950.

The church is currently Antioch Baptist Church - County Commissioner Michael Page is Pastor.

1514-1516 HOLLOWAY STREET

(Courtesy Durham County Library / North Carolina Collection)

1514-1516 Holloway St. are commercial structures built on previously vacant land in the mid-1940s, as residential development began to spread east of East Durham and car traffic on NC98 and US70 increased.

In 1948, 1514 is listed as B (maybe "R") WD Seafood, and 1516 as Buttry's Grocery.

1954:1514 is listed as Carolina Builders and Supply Company, 1516 as Buttry's General Store, grocers

Although I didn't run across a directory listing for Bishop's Furniture at this location, I must have simply missed a short-run (I don't copy every year's city directory when I go to the library to do this research.) Clearly at some point in the 50s, Bishop's and Buttry's were located in these structures, although Bishop's is consistently listed at 1605 Holloway in the directories I pulled.

In 1957, the buildings are listed as 1514-1518, and the businesses are Burnette Home Supply (building materials, Tom's Barber Shop, and The Drapery Shop.

In 1960, the businesses are Lawson Radio & TV - sales and service, Marcelle's Beauty Salon, and the Drapery Shop.

The buildings are currently vacant with "for lease" signs in the windows.

WELLONS VILLAGE

Wellons Village, ~1960
(Courtesy The Herald-Sun Newspaper)

Wellons Village, the shopping center, was built in 1959 - Durham's second after Forest Hills Shopping Center, which was built in 1955.

(I'm actually not sure when Loehmann' Plaza was built; Northgate was built in 1960, Lakewood was built in 1962 and South Square in 1975.)

As the aerial makes clear, Wellons Village was a bit different than the others, as it was a residential and retail project - although clearly of the era, with the back end of the shopping center facing the residential development. Like Northgate, its development was tied to construction of the US 70 bypass through northern Durham in 1956-7.


Closer view of the shopping center.
(Courtesy The Herald-Sun Newspaper)

None of the strip shopping centers other than Northgate (which converted to an enclosed mall in 1974) have really fared very well since the construction of larger enclosed malls. The large department stores / retailers that had fled downtown in the the 1960s fled the strip malls for the enclosed malls in the 1970s. After the heyday of those malls in the 1980s, they began to flee to the mega-regional malls in the 1990s.

'The Village', as it is now called, is anchored by a Maxway and seems to host a number of discount retailers. It seems similar in character to Lakewood Shopping Center and Forest Hills Shopping Center. Loehmann's is a bit different, as it hasn't had the demographics around the center change as significantly as they have around the aforementioned.

As always, I welcome comments and corrections about Wellons - people have much better, and more vibrant, recollections of these centers than anything that is currently written down (which is part of why I do this.)

Progress - 520 Holloway

520 Holloway St., 02.19.11

It seems appropriate as I announce the future of Endangered Durham that I received an email from Constance Stancil of NIS alerting me to the work they've done to stabilize 520 Holloway St.. I say it's appropriate because 520 Holloway St. was my first real post on Endangered Durham; what I considered the most endangered house in one of the most endangered neighborhoods back in August of 2006. It's also appropriate because much of the impetus for this website came out of my frustration with the demolitions of NIS, and my inability at the time to get Preservation Durham to publicly speak up about the houses being torn down by the city, because of their leadership's fear at that time of losing city funding if they did so - which led me to leave the board of that organization.

Cleveland-Holloway at the time was just showing some potential glimmers of hope, but in rough shape. The 500 block of Holloway had long been a focus of preservationists, and had a core of people that had moved into the block as early as the 1980s and 1990s. But there had been little positive activity in the broader neighborhood. 520 Holloway was the saddest example - owned by Fireball White for decades, it had been sought by many a preservation-minded person for acquisition, but the White family would always rebuff offers, demand outrageous prices, and flake out - not necessarily in that order, and potentially 1 or all of those.

A funny thing has happened since then. The surrounding neighborhood has seen a major renaissance, as I've previously profiled. The historic district was expanded from Holloway St. to include the rest of the neighborhood, and once-scary corners to the north are filled with brightly colored houses. We at Scientific Properties have renovated Golden Belt and a bunch of housing just to the southeast, and helped to create a renaissance in that neighborhood.

But while the surrounding area has improved, Holloway Street has stayed pretty much the same - some revitalized houses, some downtrodden houses. I profiled the remainder of the 500-600 blocks in the following ~year. And 520 Holloway got a whole lot worse than the pictures in my old post when the White family started some abortive attempt at renovation without a COA from the historic commission - ripping out windows and taking off the front porch before a stop work order was issued.

NIS has come a long way in the last 4.5 years as well - especially after the departure of some personnel. I particularly think Constance Stancil and Rick Hester have made an effort in the last 2 years to find more creative (and productive) ways to deal with historic housing with code violations; they've pushed into a receivership-type model, which I've hoped we would adopt for years, which they've 'piloted' on 520 Holloway. They've done stabilization and exterior improvement/safety work to improve the safety and appearance of the house; they'll lien the property for those costs, and if the owner doesn't pay up, the city will move towards foreclosure. This had the effect of moving the house in a positive direction both in terms of physical stability and potential to move the house into better hands.

520 Holloway St., 02.19.11

So kudos where they are deserved to NIS. I think - with the improvement of the surrounding neighborhoods and the support of NIS, the future of this corridor seems more positive than it has in years. The key is that, if Liberty Street and 700-800 blocks of Holloway can be stabilized, the revitalization of the neighborhood to the north and Golden Belt can 'meet in the middle' - here.

Say hello to Open Durham

You'll notice a new item in the sidebar; Preservation North Carolina has graciously agreed to accept tax-deductible donations on behalf of Endangered Durham version 2.0 - which I'm more broadly calling Open Durham.

The vision is for a far more functional platform for the content of Endangered Durham - one with integrated mapping, rich categories for easy search and reference, short views for the quick info and longer views for the more extensive read. Organized like an archive with rich search functionality at the forefront.

But the vision - the Open Durham vision - goes beyond that. The most significant change is this - I'm giving Endangered Durham to you - Durham. If you register so I, or someone else, can confirm that you aren't spamming, you can contribute buildings and places to the new platform. You can create what I call 'tours' - which are articles that link a number of previously-written about buildings or places in a new format - i.e., "Movie Theaters of Durham." I'm very excited about the potential of these, and I hope that the open platform encourages neighborhoods to contribute far more residential structures than I could ever possibly publish myself on ED.

There will also be neighborhood pages, people pages and business pages, so there's an opportunity to write a bit more biography about various figures in Durham history and to give more of a summary view of neighborhoods.

Development is underway, and I've incurred about $3000 in costs so far on what is now a pre-alpha stage, but partly functional site. I expect those costs to continue to grow. So contribute if you can, and if you have skills but no cash to spare, I could presently use help with:

1) A single dedicated fundraising page at the opendurham.com domain to take the place of this - I'll host if someone is willing to donate the time to design something attractive. Or similar.

2) One of the largest obstacles in the transition is moving the existing Endangered Durham information to a new database structure. Ultimately, this should mean the end of people being unable to find the information they are looking for. But right now, there's a good bit of pain involved in translating some of the information. If you've got mad scripting skills or a willingness to help manually edit 1300 posts, you can help.

Also please note that PNC was unable to accept tax-deductible donations less than $100 for this because of the paperwork involved. I'll gladly accept anything from $1 on up, but $1-$99 will not be tax-deductible, and I need to figure out a good way to get it from you. Paypal? I'm open to suggestions.

Later goals, if the support allows it, include:

1) Digitization of 'paid' archvies - Library of Congress and State Historic Preservation Office Durham Historic Inventory.
2) Smartphone app(s)
3) More advanced mapping that allows you to select a series of historic overlay maps on any given post.
4) Oral/video histories

The longer term plan is that, once the platform has some stability, I'll give it away (as in free) to various historic non-profits/motivated-crazy individuals throughout North Carolina that want to use it to create their own historic archive for their towns - particularly for the smaller towns that don't already have something accessible online.

Thank you for your help!

JOYLAND

Ever wonder why there is an area of Durham, out Highway 98 past US70, called "Joyland?" I did. Joyland got its name from the name of an orphanage proposed for the area by the North Carolina Children's Home Society in the early 20th century. Despite the confident "Being Built" on the rendering above, the orphanage never made it past the planning stages. The name, however, stuck.

FREDERICK C. GEER FARMHOUSE / 326 EAST TRINITY AVENUE

The Fred C. Geer Farmhouse is one of the oldest structures remaining in the City of Durham; much like the Calvin O'Briant farmhouse on Holloway Street, the city has grown to 'enclose' the structure in a city framework, although its move down-the-'block' in 1923 to a street corner gives it less of an appearance of inconformity to the grid than the O'Briant house.

The Geer family has roots in this area of the Piedmont dating back to at least 1758, when John Geer was living in then-Rutherford County. A son, Frederick C. Geer (c 1755-c 1840) was living in then-Orange County by the early 19th century; he willed property and enslaved people to Jesse B. Geer and another Frederick C. Geer (1823-1919.) These latter two appear to have had farmhouses northeast of Durham along the Roxboro Road by the 1860s. It is this latter Fred Geer that appears to have owned the farmhouse in question, and Jesse Geer was likely his father.

[I thought I'd try to neatly present the genealogy of the Geer family related to the farmhouse, but I'll need to leave that to a genealogy buff. Seems that the southeast was rife with Fred Geers. Of interest, a few internet ancestry sites assert that Fred Geer-the youngest was the maternal great-grandfather of Ernie Barnes.]


1867 Map, showing the Jesse and Fred Geer farms.

Between Jesse and Fred, the Geer family owned a great deal of real estate in Durham. Fred became involved in a number of endeavors, including but not limited to a stake in the Durham Railroad Company, laying out Main Street (also called Pratt Street), investing in the ZI Lyon Tobacco Co. (with JW Cheek), the Morehead Banking Company, and commissioner of the short-lived incorporated town of North Durham.


1887 Map, showing the "FC Geer" farm.

In Durham's ill-fated bid for what-would-become-Meredith College, Geer offered 16 acres of land in North Durham. I suspect that some portion of this land was what he donated to the North Durham Baptist Church in 1887 (later Grace Baptist Church.)


1890 map of North Durham

The construction of the [Fred] Geer Building, built in 1914, appears to have been a focused entrepreneurial endeavor on the part of Mr. Geer; in the 1915 city directory his occupation is listed as President of the FC Geer Co., owners of the Geer Building.

Geer died in 1919.

The fate of his farmhouse immediately after that seems unclear. Geer owned so much land that I became lost in the deed records trying to track down the disposition of the parcel of land that supported his home. Per secondary sources, it was moved to the west end of the block between N. Alston and Hamlin (Rosetta) in 1923 for the construction of the Thomas E. Cheek home.


Plat from 1937 - the large parcel is the former location of the Geer Farmhouse - by then relocated to the smaller parcel at the corner of Hamlin and E. Trinity.

The house and land appear to have remained the property of Thomas Edgar Cheek until his death, seemingly at a young age, in 1947. The house appears to have gone into probate, with the Fidelity Bank, acting as guardian for Cheek's "infant daughter, Elizabeth Taylor Cheek" selling her share, their share, and TE Cheek's share to J. Langston Thomas.

JL Thomas and his wife Genevieve appear to have lived in the house until the 1960s; in November 1968, Genevieve, then widowed, sold the house to Ruby and Chauncey Planck.


1959 aerial, showing the house at the upper left hand corner of the block.

Ruby Planck, known as "Mom" to a broader audience than just her progeny, became a beloved figure to, seemingly, an entire generation of young people in Durham. Ruby ran the Cosmo Room pub, upstairs from the Ivy Room on West Main Street. There, a diverse cross-section of Durham came and passed time. Jim Wise recounts more about "Mom" in a 2008 article from the News and Observer, as well as in his book Durham Tales. The below is excerpted from Durham Tales with Jim's kind permission:

[...]
Literally speaking, [Ruby] was mom to just her own five kids, and four of the children (the eldest having moved to San Francisco back when hippies were still beatniks.) Metaphorically, though, she was Mom and her home a sanctuary for an honorary extended family of in-laws, outlaws, mystics, mechanics, gypsies, geeks, poets, professors and plumbers.

In the '60s an early '70s, Mom was chief cook and bottle washer for the Cosmo taproom above the Ivy Room restaurant ... This is where, with wit and wisdom and good conversation, she collected a clientele mixed of physicians and pilots, [EPA] engineers, and already-aging flower children; trucker, veterans, freaks, flakes, and some souls lost and some souls looking to get into that condition after reading too much Kerouac. The occasional undergraduate would get sent back to campus early if Mom knew there was a test in the morning.

After she retired, much of Mom's coterie followed to her kitchen on East Trinity Avenue, where she held court while suppers simmered, sizzled or set. "Durham" and "gourmet" were mutually exclusive terms back then, but Mom's repertoire ranged from Assyrian to Harnett County and mealtime was as likely to mean dolmades as country ham. Between the street out front and the wildlife sanctuary out back, Mom's place was a cozy confine in the world but just a little outside it, too. Roger the Anglican/Catholic/Buddhist would wax metaphysical, George the physiologist would wax emphysemic about anti-smoking attitudes. Don would talk about growing things, Elton about flying things and Phrog about blowing things up or reading to children.

The house was full of living things: dogs, cats, rats, fish, ferrets, plants, and people. It didn't take much excuse for a party. The night Chaunce turned sixty, he was the last man dancing. Thanksgiving was occasion for true feasting, and any wedding in the crowd called forth one of Mrs. Planck's splendid, towering cakes - even if, once, the slippery layers had to be held together with a calvary saber. Poker games, cooking lessons and talk -- about big bands in the '30s, wartime in the '40s (Chaunce had been in the second wave into Normandy), New Jersey in the winter and gardens in the spring, and about books and writing and writers. Gathered around her kitchen table while something simmered on the stove, over coffee in the morning or Manhattans on Friday night, conversations ranged from Depression-era politics to the proper way of stuffing grape leaves, from media criticism to Buddhist theology and from growing peas and shrubbery to the power of the written word.

Mom loved writing, and she collected writers - real and wannabe - into her fold. She encouraged, cajoled, criticized, and shared rejection slips, as well as her Ladies' Home Journal piece, to show that, yes, it could be done. Some of those fortunate souls went on to see their names in print in the bookstores, while other found there were other forms of creativity. For all, Mom remained a matron Saint.

[...]

Mom would take on any challenge, especially if it involved cooking. In 1978, someone asked her, a one-time Southern farm girl, to demonstrate authentic, down-home, folky persimmon pudding for the Festival of North Carolina Folklife. She did it, for four hot July days and 50,000 festival-goers -- though theretofore she had never made persimmon pudding in her life -- authentic, down-home, folky or otherwise. Mom's court endured, but all things end. The courtiers aged, some moved away and some passed on. Mom eventually gave up the kitchen and moved to a retirement home -- all the way insisting it was NOT a "rest" home. Right to the end, she kept her spirit, her wit and her sense of humor.

Not long before she died, a preacher came to call. They talked for a while, then the good pastor said he'd be going since Miss Ruby looked ready to nod off.

"That," she said, "is because you're boring."


Her son, Joseph Planck, sold the house in 2003 to a group of Old North Durham residents, which eventually whittled down to Tom and Janice Transue and John Compton.
