Description
Hillside is a grand Tudor-style home built in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1929. Its builder was Julian Price, founder and president of Jefferson Life Insurance Company, at one time the thirteenth largest insurance company in America. The sprawling residence was designed by architect Charles C Hartmann, a New York architect who settled in Greensboro to become one of the state’s most prolific architects. The house was designed to evoke a rambling English Tudor home, complete with rough stucco, herringbone brick, and false-half-timbered walls, massive brick chimneys with articulated flues and clay pots, and an asymmetrical massing that features gables, wall dormers, and a stair tower. The landscape is equally detailed, containing low stone retaining walls, serpentine flagstone walkways, and mature evergreen feature trees. This house has been proposed as the setting for a Designer Show House that will blend the architectural aesthetics of this grand home with the best practices in design. Nearby is High Point, the home of the International Home Furnishings Market and its biannual gathering of 70,000 professionals related to all levels of interior architectural design. Proceeds from the Show House will benefit Preservation Greensboro’s mission of Saving Our Community’s Treasured Places.

The Greensboro Amtrak Station, located in Greensboro, North Carolina, is served by three passenger trains, the Crescent, Carolinian and Piedmont. The street address is 236 East Washington Street, and is located in the heart of downtown Greensboro as part of the Galyon Transportation Center. Previously, the station was located at the main rail yard about two miles to the west of downtown.Greensboro Station was originally built in 1927 as the Greensboro Southern Railway Depot. It was a replacement for an 1899 Southern Railway Depot that still exists today, albeit without the gabled-third story and cupola it had in the past. The 1927 depot was donated to the city in 1978, a year before the Southern Railroad finally gave up passenger service. Though efforts to return service to the old station date as far back as 1993, it wasn't reopened to the public until October 1, 2005.Designed by the New York architectural firm of Alfred T. Fellheimer & Steward Wagner, the 1927 Beaux-Arts facade features Ionic columns, a full entablature, and a three-story arched entry. Inside, the ticketing area features a vast mural displaying the service area of the Southern Railway system in the 1920s.Routes Crescent Carolinian and PiedmontGalleryExternal linksGreensboro Amtrak Station & Former Greensboro Station (USA Rail Guide -- Train Web)Greensboro Railroad Stations (North Carolina Railroad Stations)Greensboro, NC (GRO) (Amtrak's Great American Stations)
