Forest Hills Historic District
Forest Hills Historic District, Historic district in Durham, United States
This residential neighborhood spans 245 acres with 312 buildings, showcasing Colonial Revival and Craftsman architecture from 1923 to 1955.
The New Hope Realty Company developed Forest Hills in 1917 as Durham's first automobile suburb, designed by landscape architect Earl Sumner Draper.
The former nine-hole golf course transformed into Forest Hills Park in 1938 when John Sprunt Hill donated the land to Durham for public recreation.
The district extends between Kent Street, Bivins Street, Wells Street, American Tobacco Trail, Forestwood Drive, and Beverly Drive in central Durham.
The former clubhouse became the initial campus of Durham Academy in 1933 when Ann Hill established the Calvert Method School.
