The South Benbow Road Historic District was home to such prominent leaders as Henry Frye, the first Black person appointed to the North Carolina Supreme Court, surgeon and civil rights activist Dr. Alvin V. Blount, civil rights attorney J. Kenneth Lee, and William Streat and W. Edward Jenkins, two architects who designed many of the houses in the district and were known for their modernist style.
