Note:

In contrast to the Colonial Revival design of most of the Forest Hills houses Carr designed, the Alexander House is a rambling Tudor Revival residence that demonstrates his ability with non-classical revival styles, a number of which are also found in Durham’s Hope Valley and Duke Forest neighborhoods.
