Sunset Park, Wilmington, NC-- Part 2

The subdivision had a newsletter called the Dramtree (for the tree on the Cape Fear River).

The subdivision is located just minutes from downtown and across the road from Greenfield Lake with its magnificent cypress trees.

They were added to the NRHP in 202.  The subdivision is down to 225 acres now.  Originally it was intended for the upper class, but the pressing need for housing during World War II caused more cheaply and quickly built homes to be constructed.

The subdivision was annexed into Wilmington in 1946.
