You will find Blandwood Mansion at 447 West Washington Street in Greensboro. This home was originally built in 1795 as a four-room Federal style farmhouse and was later designed by architect Alexander Jackson Davis. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1988. I have always appreciated how preservation-minded Greensboro citizens stepped up to save the house from demolition in 1964. Today, it is a museum where you can see the results of that community effort for yourself. It is a wonderful spot to pause and look at the architecture before you move on to the next hole.
The International Civil Rights Center & Museum is an African-American museum in Greensboro, North Carolina. The facility is located in a building that formerly housed the Woolworth's. This building is a National Historic Landmark and part of the Downtown Greensboro Historic District. While the museum was founded in 1993, its inception was in 2010. It is a significant stop for the 70,000 annual visitors who come to the site. I've noticed the downtown area is quite easy to navigate on foot.
While the architecture suggests a house of worship, this site is the Greensboro History Museum. It occupies the former First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro, built in 1892, and the Smith Memorial Building, which was built in 1903. Architect Charles Christian Hook designed the Smith Memorial Building. The church vacated the property in 1929, and the two structures were connected through modifications and renovations in 1938. You can find this museum at 130 Summit Ave. in Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina.
The Greensboro Cultural Center is an arts and culture facility located in Greensboro, North Carolina. It is managed by the City of Greensboro Office of arts & culture. If you are looking for the local creative scene, this is the spot to visit because it is home to many arts-related programs in the city. I've seen plenty of folks heading in here for a class or a show. It is a great way to see how the city supports its artists.
The Carolina Theatre is a performing arts center that opened on Halloween night, 1927. As Greensboro, North Carolina's only remaining historic theatre, it holds a special place in the city. The building was constructed for the Saenger-Publix Company at a cost of over $500,000. If you look inside, you can pick out the massive scale of the venue, which features 2,200 seats. I've seen a few crumbs dropped in those seats over the years, but the architecture is what really catches the eye.
Hobart Upjohn is the architect of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. This church building is an Episcopal parish located in the Fisher Park Historic District of Greensboro, North Carolina. Visitors to the area can find this site among the historic structures of the district. It is a place of worship that reflects the work of Upjohn within the local landscape of North Carolina.

It serves the community as both a church building and a church congregation. Visitors to the Fisher Park Historic District can find this historic Presbyterian church established as a place of worship and a gathering point for its congregation in Greensboro.
The Romanesque Revival architecture of West Market Street United Methodist Church is a prominent sight in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina. This Protestant church building is over 190 years old and currently serves a congregation of approximately 1700 members. The sanctuary you see today is the third sanctuary built by the congregation, with the construction of this specific building taking place between 1893 and 1898. Because of its history and design, it is a National Register of Historic Places listed place.
First National Bank Field is a sports venue and Minor League Baseball park located in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina. Established in 2005, the park is the home of the Greensboro Grasshoppers of the High-A East. If you are navigating the area, you can find the field on the block bounded by Bellemeade, Edgeworth, Smith, and Eugene Streets. I have noticed it is a great spot to catch a game right in the heart of the city, making it a convenient stop for any visitor looking for some local athletics.
