Below in italics from the ND-DP National Register listing:
Two story structure with weatherboard siding. Engaged front porch with brick bungalow piers. Hip roof, brackets, grouped windows and square shape.
In 1950, the Wo family, who operated the Oriental Restaurant on East Parrish Street, lived in this house. (Der Wo, Mei On Wo, and Chuck Ye Wo.) I'd love to learn more about this family, and their experience as an Asian-American family in Durham immediately post-WWII. That's not something you find in oft-repeated narratives of Durham.
