  • It was a rental house until 1935, when John Clifford Pugh (1895-1974) and Lola Ethyl Shields Pugh (1902-1971) moved in. He had bought the house in 1932 and owned it until his death. His daughter, Nancy Pugh Felton, sold the house in 1977. Cliff Pugh was a department manager at Ellis-Stone Department Store.

• Last sale: $225,000, September 2005
• Note: Rental property
  • The property is in the Fisher Park National Register Historic District, but Wharton Street is just outside the local historic district.
  • The first owners of the house were Cecil J. Tinsley, a vice-president of Farmers & Mechanics Bank, and Jesse G. Bradshaw, a salesman for J.E. Latham Company, which sold them the property. Tinsley and Bradshaw used it as a rental property. By 1935, Tinsley, now a manufacturers representative, was the sole owner of the house and bankrupt. He claimed it with his homestead exemption, although he didn’t live there. He continued to rent it out until he sold it in 1944.
  • In 1946, John Lloyd York (1912-1966) bought the house and lived there with his wife, Mary L. York. He was the office manager for Harry D. Kellett, the local Plymouth and Dodge dealer. He later operated his own auto sales business, which also employed his wife, Mary Louise Linville York (1910-1990), and son, John Jr. The deed was transferred to Mary in 1957; John Jr. sold the house in 1991.

• Last sale: $435,000, May 2018
• Note: Sadie Bingham Royster Taylor (1892-1971) was the original owner, buying the house in 1922. It was noted on the deed that she was the wife of Roland McNairy Taylor (1893-1976), but the deed itself was in her name alone.
  • In 1934, the deed was taken over by the Home Owners Loan Corporation, a Depression-era federal institution that refinanced mortgages in default to prevent foreclosure. The deed went back into Sadie’s name later, although county records don’t say specifically when.
  • Otherwise, the property remained in Sadie’s family for 48 years. After she died, the house was signed over to their daughter, Etta Farrar Taylor Mangum (1921-2016). She sold it in 1975.
  • No mention of the HOLC is complete without noting that it also introduced the concept of redlining, designating minority neighborhoods as hazardous areas for banks to provide mortgages and enforcing and promoting segregation. For more about the federal government’s role in actively promoting and in many places introducing and enforcing residential segregation, see The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America, by Richard Rothstein.

• 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2,092 square feet

• Listed May 28, 2020
• Last sale: $165,000, November 2003
• Note: For sale by owner
  • Fisher Park’s National Register nomination describes it as a “three-bay, facade-gable, gable-end I house with a bungalow-style front porch.”
  • The NRHP nomination dates the house from 1916-20, and city directories show a residence at 801 Keough, as the street was then known, dating back to 1921. County records, though, give the date as 1931. For what it’s worth, it looks more like a 1920 house than one built in 1931.

  • The property was bought by an LLC in April 2020 for $100,000; three months later it was listed for sale at $375,000. The price has been raised twice since.
  • The property is in the Fisher Park Neighborhood and NRHP historic district, but is not within the local historic district. That means it’s not subject to the appearance guidelines of the local historic district.

305 E. Hendrix Street
The John and Helen Kleemeier House

• Sold for $305,000 on February 18, 2021 (listed at $335,000)

• Built in 1918

  • For 48 years, from 1955 to 2003, the house was owned by Guy and Carter Delafield. Guy was the office manager for the Lassiter Corporation, which sold cellophane products.

The Fisher-Carlson-Latham House
Blog post — New Listing: The Fisher-Carlson-Latham House in Fisher Park, $589,900

• Sold for $493,000 on January 29, 2021 (originally $589,900)
• 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, 3,755 square feet, 0.43 acre
• Price/square foot: $131
• Built in 1905
• Listed September 18, 2020
• Last sale: $370,000, July 2004
• Note: The house is often referred to as the Carl Carlson House, but he was apparently the second owner. Arthur Fisher built the house and in 1913 sold it to Carlson.
  • County property records date the house to 1905. Fisher Park’s NRHP nomination has it as circa 1910-15. It first appears in the city directory in the 1912-13 edition with Fisher living there.
  • NRHP district nomination: “C. I. Carlson: topped by large shingled, cross-gambrell roof; multiple bays are recessed beneath the roof, behind a round-columned wraparound porch at the first story.”

• Listed September 29, 2020
• Last sale: $326,000, December 2011
• District NRHP nomination: “Gable-end roof; Oriental flair to roof of front portico and two front dormers”
  • Although county records show a 1908 date for the house, it doesn’t appear in the city directory until 1917 with physician Walter F. Byrd as the resident. He apparently was a tenant, since the house was then owned by the Rev. Charles W. and Hattie Byrd. He was the pastor of West Market Methodist Episcopal Church; they were listed as living at 412 W. Market Street. In 1918, Mrs. Byrd, by then a widow and living in Buncombe County, sold the house.
  • After two short-term owners, attorney R.R. King bought the house in 1920. He and then his descendants owned the house for 77 years, until 1997.

The John L. Latham House (not to be confused with the even more grand James E. Latham House)

• Sold for $575,000 on August 25, 2020 (listed at $575,000)
• 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3,032 square feet

• Sold for $365,000 on August 13, 2020 (originally listed at $475,000)
• 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2,093 square feet
• Price/square foot: $174
• Built in 1922
• Listed April 9, 2019
• Last sale: $82,000, September 1988
• Note: Newly renovated, the house was previously used as an office.
  • An odd feature is the siting of the house on its lot at the corner of Olive Street and Bessemer Avenue. The narrow, nominally front side of the lot faces Bessemer, but the house is aligned with the long side of the lot facing Olive. As a result, it’s a much wider house than it otherwise could have been. It faces a street with less traffic and has very little backyard.

• Built in 1913
• Listed March 26, 2020
• Last sale: $318,000, July 2018
• Note: The listing says the house has vinyl siding, which seems unlikely since it’s in a local historic district (where vinyl siding isn’t allowed).
