  • Designed by Harry Barton. Few architects have been as historically prominent in Greensboro and across the state as Harry Barton.

  • Effie McLean Anderson was a widow. She bought the house in 1915, about a year after her husband died; they had been married less than four years. She had no children and never remarried. (Effie did have a step-daughter but may not have raised her. Fannie Anderson Sutton’s mother died at age 30 in 1910, when Fannie was four years old. Fannie lived to be 99, dying in 2006 at her home at Well-Spring Retirement Community.)
  • Effie owned the house until February 9, 1946; she died eight days later at the age of 61.
  • Her husband, William Irvin Anderson, died at age 35 while having his appendix taken out. He was the founder and owner of W.I. Anderson Produce at 245 E. Friendly Avenue. His building has been converted to offices but is still identifiable by the words “♦ FRUITS ♦ PRODUCE ♦” over the door facing East Friendly (click on the photo to see it bigger):
