BASSETT-BROWN HOUSE (1905)
Dr. John Bassett built this house with its impressive Ionic portico. Later owner Dr. Frank Brown hired a decorator to completely remodel the interior of the house, which now features rich crown molding throughout, built-in bookcases, neoclassical mantelpieces, and a long, gently-sloping staircase that dominates the central hall.

COLE-BLOMQUIST HOUSE (1912)
This one-story masonry bungalow's facade features random-coursed ashlar identical to that of the wall surrounding the Duke East Campus accented with granite lintel and sills. The beautiful stone mantelpiece in the living room was carved in Italy. The gardens were designed by later owner and Duke University botony professor Blomquist.

TRINITY COLLEGE
|
|
THE ARK (1898)
This three-story frame and brick building was the first college gym in North Carolina. Much of its material was salvaged from the grandstand of Blackwell Park, the 62-acre fairground that was donated by Julian S. Carr for the campus. The brick ground floor contained one of the first indoor swimming pools in North Carolina. In the early 1930s, the building was remodeled as a recreation center and renamed The Ark.
|
EAST DUKE BUILDING (C. 1910)
The Neoclassical style East Duke Building was designed by Charlotte architect C. C. Hook with Doric entablatures and handsome tetrastyle porticos to house the college administrative offices and the Columbian and Hesperian student literary societies. The Anna Branson Memorial Room and the Alumnae Room were decorated by the New York interior decorator Karl Bock.

CUNNINGHAM HOUSE (c. 1921)
This distinctive T-shaped clipped-gable-roofed house faced with random coursed ashlar is prominently situated across from the campus at the corner of W. Markham and N. Buchanan. The elevations are composed of the same sort of masonry as that of the low walls surrounding the East Campus. The house was constructed for zoology professor Cunningham.
|
WHITTED HOUSE (C. 1920s)
One of a handful of Spanish Mission style houses built during the 1920s and 1930s by contractor Tyson Crisp, this house features a stuccoed façade, arched entries and porches, flat rooflines at various heights, and terra cotta tile on the window hoods and entryway. It was completely restored in the 1970s and again in 2006.

FRANCK HOUSE (C. 1900)
This handsome house across from the Duke East Campus is distinguished by frieze and cornerboards painted to contrast with the walls and by the large wraparound porch supported by unusually bulbous Tuscan columns on brick plinths. It appears that the rear one-story gable-roofed wing with polygonal south façade is original.
|
DIETRICH HOUSE
This simple house features a clipped gable over the front porch that runs the width of the facade, its roof supported by double pillars.

|
MANCHESTER CONDOS
This handsome brick building with rusticated details is distiguished by its rows of arched windows over the decorative hoods on the lower level porches. The central front steps lead to the entrance and a hall that opens to the residences inside.
