Cherry Street, Sylva, NC
This charming craftsman-style bungalow sits along Cherry Street at the bottom of Sunrise Park in my hometown of Sylva, North Carolina. Constructed circa 1940, the wood-frame house features both four-over-one and three-over-three windows, as well as an exposed brick chimney, trapezoid-shaped dormer, and a unique green shingle roof. The house also is only one of two homes I have come across in my travels with the letter P prominently displayed in a contrasting material on the chimney, with the other house being just off Chase Avenue in Cincinnati’s Northside neighborhood. I am not actually sure why this letter is on the chimney, but I suspect it may have something to do with some organization or fraternal order that has a presence across the United States. Whatever the case is with its origins, this house is one of the many interesting and charming Craftsman-style houses in town, and has long been one of my favorites.
