FRANCIS AND MARJORIE BRADSHAW HOUSE
late 1930s, c. 2000
Two-story, brick Colonial Revival, with a fanlight and sidelights around the front door, pedimented entrance stoop, eight-over-twelve window sash on the first story, eight-over-eight sash on the second, and exterior end brick chimney. Built for Francis Bradshaw, Dean of Students at UNC, and his wife Marjorie.

The house appears to have been enlarged significantly in recent years, though the 1993 survey photos show only the center portion of the house, so it’s difficult to date the additions. The historic core of the house remains largely intact with original windows, fifteen-light French door with four-light-over-one-panel sidelights, and an arched transom sheltered by a gabled surround with slender columns. One-story, hip-roofed enclosed porches on the right (west) and left (east) elevations may be original to the structure, though they have replacement metal roofs and ten-light casement windows. There is a one-story, circular sunroom to the rear of the east wing and a one-story, side-gabled wing at the right rear (southwest) connected to the west wing by a circular sunroom. At the rear of the building, a one-story gabled wing projects from the center of the south elevation, which has two gabled dormers, each with a nine-light casement window. The rear of the property has been heavily landscaped with paved parking, stone retaining walls, and wood pergolas. Two garage and a stone cottage are also located at the rear. County tax records date the building to 1932, though the building does not appear on the 1932 Sanborn map.

In the 2013 survey, this was deemed a Contributing Building.

The contributing status reflected in the database was assigned to the building as part of the 1993 National Register nomination. Were the NR nomination to be formally updated, this property would likely be considered noncontributing.

COTTAGE
1930
Small one-story, L-shaped stone building built as a study for Critz George and now a student rental. The building has stone walls with wood shakes in the gables, an asphalt-shingled roof, interior stone chimney, and six-over-six wood-sash windows. The entrance is located on the front-gabled wing and has a batten door with three lights flanked by four-over-four windows. A shed-roofed bay located at the intersection of the two wings has stucco on the lower half of the wall with shakes above. The building faces Evergreen Lane, the service alley, and has a 208 Evergreen Lane address. The building appears on the 1932 Sanborn map. In the 2013 survey, this was deemed a Contributing Building.

GARAGE
2000
One-story, gable-on-hip-roofed frame garage with overhead door facing Evergreen Lane to the south and an entrance on the east elevation. In the 2013 survey, this was deemed a Noncontributing Building.
