New neighborhoods sprung up to provide much needed housing, particularly north of downtown. These areas consisted mostly of small, modest single-family residences. Starmount is one of East Raleigh’s later midcentury subdivisions following this trend. Unlike similar developments of the time, Starmount lots had no racially restrictive covenants. Due to its custom development, Starmount has more architectural variety than tract subdivisions. The neighborhood is primarily characterized by its iconic Ranch style houses. The curvilinear street pattern is common in many subdivisions of the era. Starmount stands out as a highly intact example of Raleigh’s postwar suburban boom. <br />\r\n<br />\r\nBuild Date: Late 1950s-1960s","sponsor":"Raleigh Historic Development Commission","accessinfo":"","lede":"Intact example of Raleigh&#039;s postwar suburban construction boom with modest-sized Ranch style houses and curvilinear streets","website":"","related_resources":[],"factoids":["<b>Preservation Tool Highlight: National Register of Historic Places - Study List</b><br /><br />The Study List is an early step on the road to listing in the National Register of Historic Places. It is a preliminary screening tool used to determine if a place is potentially eligible. The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) formally reviews properties based on four criteria. The Study List does not automatically mean a site is placed on the National Register. It serves as a green light for local advocates to pursue a formal nomination.<br /><br />The National Register is the official list of the nation’s places worthy of preservation. Historic research and architectural survey work help identify these places. The work is often grant funded through local municipalities. The National Park Service (NPS) administers the program. The list includes both historic districts and individual properties. National Register listing gives access to historic rehabilitation tax credit programs. It is a largely honorary historic designation with no extra local regulation. Because of this, demolition usually goes unchecked in National Register areas. Some federally funded projects must consider whether they will negatively impact historic places. If so, they must work with the local community to try to mitigate their adverse effects."],"files":{"https://raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/10a08ec6a027751adae3b7207bd97df8.jpg":{"id":1170,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"DSC_6139.JPG","description":"","thumbnail":"https://raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/10a08ec6a027751adae3b7207bd97df8.jpg"},"https://raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/1634df2b3c022beb914560de90b61a75.jpg":{"id":1171,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"DSC_6145.JPG","description":"","thumbnail":"https://raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/1634df2b3c022beb914560de90b61a75.jpg"},"https://raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/c620183b49ef451569fd404d35505b8f.jpg":{"id":1172,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"DSC_6157.JPG","description":"","thumbnail":"https://raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/c620183b49ef451569fd404d35505b8f.jpg"},"https://raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/bf8c4c8cf4cf7fe7e1ef409bbff229f6.jpg":{"id":1173,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"DSC_6161.JPG","description":"","thumbnail":"https://raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/bf8c4c8cf4cf7fe7e1ef409bbff229f6.jpg"},"https://raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/86081a7bc7174bdf2eb1d4397046f6a9.jpg":{"id":1174,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"DSC_6169.JPG","description":"","thumbnail":"https://raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/86081a7bc7174bdf2eb1d4397046f6a9.jpg"},"https://raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/d7f011648359756524c82d6facf05c15.jpg":{"id":1175,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"DSC_6176.JPG","description":"","thumbnail":"https://raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/d7f011648359756524c82d6facf05c15.jpg"},"https://raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/6c1225ce14af03fbf0ce3f0d2a565d74.jpg":{"id":1176,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"DSC_6189.JPG","description":"","thumbnail":"https://raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/6c1225ce14af03fbf0ce3f0d2a565d74.jpg"},"https://raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/f366ed35f91d8d8444ffd9bd5c30dd13.jpg":{"id":1177,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"DSC_6199.JPG","description":"","thumbnail":"https://raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/f366ed35f91d8d8444ffd9bd5c30dd13.jpg"}}}
