204 Cascade Avenue, Cicero Francis and Margaret Lowe House, 1911 (LHL 1989), https://www.cityofws.org/DocumentCenter/View/3860/074---Cicero-Francis-Lowe-House-PDF?bidId=)

A large hipped-roof frame Neoclassical Revival style house, one of the only classical designs in Washington Park. The weatherboarded two-story dwelling features a full-height central pedimented portico that rises above the projecting semicircular bay of a wraparound porch supported by fluted Ionic columns. Pedimented dormers with arched windows, heavy modillion cornices, and an elaborate tripartite entrance surround with leaded fanlight and sidelights complete the classical design. The house is built on one of the highest elevations in Winston-Salem – the intersection of Broad Street and Cascade Avenue.

Cicero Francis Lowe joined the Brown-Rogers Hardware Company in 1908. His successful rise in management allowed him to commission this prominent house in 1911, and move here in 1912. (Design of the house is often attributed to Willard C. Northup.) Lowe, his wife Margaret, and their children enjoyed the house until 1931 when the family defaulted on the mortgage, relocating to the Gray Court Apartments. It was subsequently owned and occupied by several families (including a nephew of Jane Boyden Craige) then became a bed and breakfast, but now again functions as a single family home.

Neoclassical Revival style (1895 -1955) – The facade is dominated by a full-height portico whose roof is supported by classical columns, usually with either Ionic or Corinthian capitals. Symmetrically balanced windows with a center entrance. The term Neoclassical Revival is usually reserved for monumental structures such as civic buildings, houses of worship, or homes of significant architectural design.
