Tour of Historic Homes:
Hamilton Lakes
A408Studio is once again honored to be part of the Tour of Historic Homes.
Hamilton Lakes is a community
created as one of the largest assemblages of property in the history of the
Greensboro. Beginning as early as 1900, Alfred Moore (A. M.) Scales, an
attorney and nephew of a former North Carolina Governor with the same name, began
to acquire tracts of land north and west of the city. With business partner
Alexander Worth McAlister, the pair developed the easternmost tract of this
land as the Irving Park golf course community in 1912, under the auspices of
the Southern Real Estate Company. Their subsequent projects included a
resort-like community with expansive recreation spaces entitled Hamilton Lakes,
opened around 1926.
The 2015 Tour of Historic Homes
& Gardens will showcase the diverse architecture of Hamilton Lakes,
one of the most iconic neighborhoods in our state. Stay tuned to future
newsletters and announcements related to the Tour, and the exciting weekend of
events we have lined up from May 14-17!
