Preservation Greensboro is pleased to present six homes featured on this year’s annual Tour of Historic Homes & Gardens in Hamilton Lakes! May 16th and 17th.

Preservation Greensboro Incorporated serves as the only donor-supported organization dedicated to saving the Gate City’s historic and architectural treasures. Since 1966, the organization has worked to preserve historic buildings, neighborhoods and landscapes that provide Greensboro with a unique sense of history and place. As a result of Preservation Greensboro’s efforts, the Gate City has developed a distinctive sense of heritage through a series of landmarks sites and historic neighborhoods and maintains a 
vibrant tradition of recycling, adaptive reuse, and renovation.
We are pleased to present six homes featured on this year’s annual Tour of Historic Homes & Gardens in Hamilton Lakes! This is a neighborhood rich with history and architecture:
+ 1207 Lakewood Drive: The childhood home of the only Communist Party member to serve in prison on these charges.
+ 3907 Henderson Road: The residence of the commander of the Fourth Naval District from Philadelphia.
+ 3905 Henderson Road: Designed by a graduate of NCSU’s School of Design - a national center for modernist doctrine.
104 Kemp Road West: Home of one of the first licensed architects in North Carolina.
+ 505 Kemp Road West: An example of Ranch-style homes that were shown in leading shelter magazines of the day such as House Beautiful and House and Garden.
+ 216 Kemp Road East: Designed by the American Institute of Architect’s 66th president.
