The c. 1911 Herman and Anna Yates Greene homestead sits on 1.7 acres six miles south of downtown Raleigh. The house is an excellent example of the Colonial Revival style with over 3200 square feet of living space that follows the center-hall, two-room deep plan on both levels. Architecturally significant features include two staircases, nine main rooms, and 9 fireplaces plus original floors, plaster walls, mantels, and doors, including 2 pairs of pocket doors. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003, the Herman Greene House is now pending Wake County Historic Landmark Designation. An historic preservation easement on the property was granted to Capital Area Preservation, Inc. in 2021.
