Thank you for this post. My grandparents, Samuel R. Greene Sr and Adeline Mitchell Greene, and three children lived in this home. Addie's father, D.C. Mitchell, owned East Durham Lumber Co, the source for many of the homes materials. D.C. lived at 2015 W. Club. He also helped build homes for daughter Mary Rose Cole at 2027 and son D.C. Mitchell Jr. (yellow house on the corner west of 2219 W. Club).
