The prominent Georgian Revival red brick residence embodies an extensive remodeling of an existing antebellum house associated with the Elias Carr family.

Attorney Joseph B. Cheshire, Jr., son of the Episcopal bishop of the same name, appeared in the city directory of 1917 as residing on Hawthorne Road, and from 1918 onward had the address of 1618 Ambleside. (The property is located at the corner of the two streets.) It is believed that Satterfield built a moderate sized house for Cheshire at first, and then expanded or rebuilt it about 1924 as the present columned residence from designs by Atwood and Nash. Satterfield’s building list includes a job for Joe Cheshire.

The substantial brick house influenced by the Prairie style was built for a member of a long established Raleigh family.

The Dutch Colonial style house was built by Satterfield for Capps, a librarian at present North Carolina State University (Hayes Barton National Register nomination). Frank Capps was cited in Satterfield’s building list.

Documents listing construction costs for the “Little Residence” in Raleigh survive in the Little-Mordecai Papers at the North Carolina State Archives; George Little resided at 208 Pine St., a street (now gone) that was located east of and perpendicular to the 800 block Harp St. north of Peace College. Possibly the house was relocated.

The house, built of stone said to have come from the quarry at the site of present Glenwood Village on Glenwood Ave., is said to have been a Satterfield project. It is probably the “Miller job” in Satterfield’s building list.

According to the Raleigh Times of Nov. 30, 1925, Satterfield had the Wilson house, a 2-story frame Georgian Revival residence, under construction at that time.

Family accounts indicate that Satterfield built this 2-story frame house as his first home in Cameron Park. City directories list Satterfield on Maiden Lane in 1909 and in Cameron Park in 1913; this house is likely the 2-story frame house on Groveland on the 1914 Sanborn Insurance Map. In about 1915 Satterfield built and moved into the bungalow next door at 203 Groveland and rented out the house at 201. In 1918 and in 1920, the residents of 201 were Miss Louise T. Busbee, a schoolteacher, and her siblings. In 1926, Satterfield sold 203 and moved back to 201, where he and Grace lived until his death.

Satterfield’s building list refers to a “Pittinger” project. Pittinger, a minister who had lived downtown in the early 1910s, was living at this address in 1919.

The 2-story red brick house in Colonial Revival style is part of a cluster of similar residences in the heart of Hayes Barton. It was built for Park, the president and publisher of the Raleigh Times and was cited in the 1925 article in that newspaper. In the 1930s it was the home of Karl G. Hudson, manager at the Hudson-Belk Company (Hayes Barton National Register nomination).

The classic Georgian Revival house was built for Janie Jolly, the widow of Frank Jolly and was later purchased by Gov. Broughton. Satterfield’s building list includes a project for Mrs. Frank Jolly, and he is noted as the builder in the Hayes Barton National Register of Historic Places nomination. Blueprints for the house by Atwood and Nash (held by Special Collections Research Center, NCSU Libraries), show two phases of the design, the first in 1928 and a slightly simplified version in 1929. A recent renovation carried out some of the features that were originally omitted including a kitchen wing on the left.

According to Lee Craig in Josephus Daniels: His Life and Times, in 1920 Josephus Daniels, then Secretary of the Navy, wrote to his son, Josephus, Jr., that Lincoln Rogers, a Navy commander who was also a “good architect,” had been advising Mrs. (Addie) Daniels, about “the house she is going to build out on the hill-top.” He asked Joe, Jr. to take Raleigh developer Dan Allen and architect Rogers to visit the site during an upcoming visit by Rogers. The degree of Rogers’s role in the design is unknown. Satterfield is cited as “architect” and builder of the large stone residence with its imposing portico. Satterfield claimed only the role of builder, but in this instance as in others he may have helped the client develop plans from the initial concept. The family moved into the new house in 1923.

The architects and builder of this classic 2-story, red brick Georgian Revival house are cited in the Hayes Barton National Register nomination. A Julian Rand project is cited in the Satterfield building list. Julian and Lillian Rand, longtime residents of Ferndell Lane (near Maiden Lane and State College) first appeared at 1544 Carr Street house in the 1932 city directory.

In a letter of April 17, 1981 (Charlotte V. Brown Collection), attorney and judge Julius Banzet stated that Satterfield built his home during the summer and fall of 1931 and that the builder had previously completed renovation of a house nearby on South Main St. for Adele Jones. Both houses are stately examples of Georgian Revival in red brick, and display excellent materials and craftsmanship. The architect has not been documented but circumstances suggest that it might have been James A. Salter.

One of the most unusual residences in Hayes Barton, the stuccoed house combines symmetrical massing and sleek, blocky forms in what has been described as a Prairie-style modernist design; it originally had a balustrade that gave it a more classical and Spanish Mission flavor. It is credited to Satterfield in the Satterfield building list and the Hayes Barton National Register nomination. The architect, if any, or published design source is unknown. It is possible that the client, Eugene McGinnis of the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company, had seen such a house in another community or in a publication and asked Satterfield to recreate it.

The Raleigh Times of Nov. 30, 1925 cited the home of “Mrs. John C. Drewry” as one of Satterfield’s recent works. The client was Kittie Holt Drewry, who was listed in the 1922 and 1923 city directories as Holt Drewry, widow of John C. Drewry, residing on “Cowper near Glenwood, Hayes Barton.” As development in Hayes Barton continued, the western lane of Cowper was renamed Holt Drive in the mid-20s, and from 1926 onward she was listed at 815 Holt Drive. Mrs. Drewry was a member of the prominent Holt family of industrialists in Alamance County (Hayes Barton National Register nomination).The large red brick house features terra cotta roof tiles, and there is a matching garage-servants’ quarters building.

The substantial residence of tan brick with a green tile roof was built for Nettie Branch Ransom, the widow of Matt W. Ransom Jr.; the house remains in the family. Mrs. Ransom’s daughter, Martha Ransom Johnston, recalled that a Mr. Elks of Weldon was the architect; Mrs. Ransom initially employed a local contractor but changed to Satterfield upon a friend’s recommendation, and Satterfield subsequently altered the plans (Martha Ransom Johnston to Charlotte Brown, undated, ca. 1981). Construction had already begun when Satterfield took the job to “complete” the house, for the specifications refer to excavation already done and materials already acquired. The specifications also noted existing “original plans,” and stated that the wainscoting in the front hall, for example, would be paneled in a manner “similar to that shown on the original plans” and “very much like in Mr. Haywood’ s home.” The porte cochere was to be “put on as shown on revised plans.” (Charlotte Vestal Brown Papers, Special Collections Research Center, NCSU Libraries).

Satterfield’s building list includes a project for Mrs. W. H. Pleasants, Louisburg. On March 18, 1927, Satterfield wrote to Mrs. Pleasants (Missouri Alston Pleasants) requesting a meeting with her to discuss building her house. Local carpenter William Edens was involved in its construction, and an estimate for materials is addressed to him. A letter of February 14, 1927, from a building supply company in Raleigh to Mrs. Pleasants refers to a Mr. Salter, which may suggest that architect James A. Salter was also involved in the project. A second letter of the same date and authorship concerning the “tapestry” brick reports that the same brick was used in other projects including Mr. A. H. Vann’s house in Franklinton, designed by Salter; a Mr. Dameron’s house in Warrenton, and the Woman’s Club Building in Raleigh. Architectural drawings for the Pleasants house were in existence in Louisburg in 1986 (Charlotte Vestal Brown Papers, Special Collections Research Center, NCSU Libraries).

The red brick Georgian Revival style house epitomizes Satterfield’s work in a mode that appealed to many Raleighites of the period, and appears frequently in the Hayes Barton neighborhood. Nell Battle Lewis was a well-known Raleigh writer. See Architects and Builders in North Carolina for the poem Satterfield wrote to “Miss Nellie” upon completion of her house.

The imposing Colonial Revival house of red brick is described as having been planned by Nell Gregory from architectural magazines; she then consulted with builder Satterfield for completing the project. Quentin Gregory was a prominent local businessman.

The Dunn House, a frame Colonial Revival style residence cited in the Satterfield building list and in the Hayes Barton National Register nomination, has been replaced by a larger house.

Satterfield built this shingled bungalow for his family as one of the earlier residences in Cameron Park. It is among the most thoroughly Craftsman style bungalows in the neighborhood, where many of the bungalows have Colonial Revival detailing. City directories list Satterfield on Maiden Lane in 1909, in Cameron Park in 1913, at 203 Groveland from 1915 through at least 1923, and at 201 Groveland from 1926 onward. In 1926 he sold the house at 203 to pharmacist Cader Rhodes, proprietor of the nearby College Court Pharmacy; Rhodes and his wife lived here until his death in 1945.

The Tudor Revival, brick and half-timbered residence features a porte cochere on one side. It was built for Carolina Power and Light vice-president John V. Strange and cited in Satterfield’s building list.

The 2-story, gable-fronted frame house is likely the T. E. Brown house in Satterfield’s building list.

The red brick house with slate roof was built for Frank E. Thompson of Thompson Electrical Co. (Hayes Barton National Register nomination).

According to a later owner, John Bailey, the red brick Georgian Revival house was built for General Van Metz, who had been chief of staff for General Pershing in World War I and later attorney general of North Carolina. Bailey stated that this was the last lot on prestigious Blount St. and that Metz wanted a Blount Street address, so although the house actually faces Franklin Street, its address is on Blount.

The Dutch Colonial style residence is one of several Satterfield-built houses along Carr Street. It was cited in the Raleigh Times of Nov. 30, 1925 as Satterfield’s work and included in the Satterfield building list.
