1501 Fayetteville Street – James B. Alston House

This two-story, hip-roofed house is two bays wide and double-pile with a projecting two-story gable on the right end of the façade and a projecting canted bay on the south elevation. There is a one-story, side-gabled ell on the north elevation with a low, hip-roofed block behind the ell. A gabled rear ell extends from the southeast corner of the house with a shed-roofed block north of the ell. The house has a painted brick pier-and-curtain-wall foundation and original molded wood weatherboards throughout with vinyl siding on the projecting front gable and the south elevation. It has three brick chimneys, two interior chimneys and an exterior brick chimney on the rear ell. It has one-over-one replacement windows throughout and an original one-light-over-one-panel front door with sidelight. The front porch extends across the entire façade and wraps around the one-story ell on the north elevation; it is supported by tapered wood post and has an original wood railing. The porch is accessed by brick stairs with brick knee walls. A concrete-block retaining wall extends across the front of the property and along the north side, along Price Street. The earliest known occupant is James B. Alston (shoemaker) in 1925.
