1301 Holloway Street

1301-1303 Holloway Street, 10.02.10

I love the patterned tin shingles on the polygonal roofs of these two houses on Holloway Street - this is emblematic of the kind of great architectural detail that was intact on a widespread basis in East Durham until ~10 years ago.

In the 1920s, JR Enoch lived at 1301 and RJ Sherron lived at 1303.

This kind of crafted historic detail is rapidly being lost through window tear-outs, vinylization, replacement of roofs like these with asphalt shingle, and demolition.
