“Wesley Heights. Middle class homes of Craftsman/Bungalow style
(1920s), adapted Tudor Revival (1930s), and Colonial Revival styles of frame and brick
veneer homes remain in this National Register Historic district.
It
was developed around 1920 on the nineteenth-century farm of Charlotte livery stable owner
John Wadsworth. The neighborhood on Charlotte’s northwest side was close to two
trolley lines in the early days of streetcar neighborhoods and is an intact example of an
early twentieth century community with pleasing architectural integrity and character.
The
grandest and earliest house in the neighborhood is the George Wadsworth house at 400 South
Summit Ave. designed by Charlotte
architect Louis Asbury Sr.
