Influence of the Prairie style is shown in the distinct division of the first and second story with courses of rusticated ashlar limestone in alternating heights, giving a visually stable base for the textured stucco facing above and broad eaves supported by pairs of brackets. More hallmarks of
The impressive mansion at the northwest corner of Belvedere Boulevard and Peabody Avenue was built in 1909 for Charles Boyle, who developed the street along with his brother, Edward. Boyle intended his home to serve as an example of the level of quality to be built on the boulevard and used it as a model for potential new neighbors. In 1906, Charles and Edward, whose sons would go on to found the Boyle Investment Company, launched the Boyle family’s interest in real estate when they purchased the land known as the South Belvedere Boulevard subdivision between Central and Union Avenue. The Boyle name is deeply rooted in Memphis history, as Edward Boyle married Imogene Snowden, a descendant of John Overton, who teamed with General Andrew Jackson and James Winchester to found the city of Memphis in 1819. After constructing this home in 1909, Charles Boyle sold it to Henry T. and Arabella Winkleman in 1914. Henry was president of the Winkleman Baking Company, which manufactured Staff of Life bread. A year after his death in 1938, his widow, Arabella, sold the property to John and Clarabel Twist. John Twist was a cotton planter for whom the community of Twist, Arkansas, is named. Mr. Twist died in 1942. The plan and massing of the house were innovative for the time, designed to make use of cross ventilation in the days before air conditioning. Like many houses of the neighborhood, the design was influenced by several architectural movements. The three arched windows above the entrance are characteristic of the Mission style, with the wall extending to become a shaped dormer for the attic. The bull’s-eye window with quatrefoil surround flanked by small slot arched windows are trademarks of the style that coincided with the promotion of passenger railroad service to the West.

Current owners purchased the home in 2017 and have completed many projects to update the home, while keeping the home’s historic significance and character in mind. A kitchen renovation, which included custom-made Craftsman cabinets, new countertops and flooring was finished in 2018. In recent months, the back garden has been completely re-envisioned with the addition of a veranda, outdoor kitchen, full bath with shower, and a stunning pool with wading area and fountain features. 267 SOUTH BELVEDERE BOULEVARD

Dr. Witherington was a member of the Methodist Hospital staff from 1946 until he retired in 1981, having served as Methodist staff president in 1961.
Mr. Felsenthal was president of Temple Israel from 1937–1939 and was both vice president and director of the National Wholesale Grocers Association.
Mrs. Felsenthal was president of Regina Lodge No. 19, was a member of the Temple Sisterhood, was an honorary board member of the Elizabeth Lowenstein Club, and in 1928, became the first woman to receive the Joseph Newburger Memorial Cup from Temple Israel’s Junior Congregation as the outstanding Jewish citizen of the year. The couple deeded their 12-acre estate, “Felthensal Springs,” in Madison County, Tennessee, to the Jackson YMCA. The gift was made on the couple’s 44th wedding anniversary.
The grand Italianate home at 543 S. Belvedere was designed by architect Hubert T. McGee on behalf of wholesale grocer Jacob C. Felsenthal and his wife, Cecelia. According to an article describing the building plan in The Commercial Appeal from April 1923, “the architect has patterned the building after the Italian renaissance fashion and has arranged it so as to be replete with modern comforts and conveniences.”
McGee is most noted for having designed the Pink Palace in Memphis for Piggly Wiggly founder Clarence Saunders. This twostory, limestone Italian-style residence, with tile roof and arched entry porch was completed in 1924. Jacob Felsenthal owned a wholesale grocery company in his name, with territories across the Mid-South. Originally from Kentucky, and having spent much of his life as a young adult in Jackson, Tennessee, he moved to Memphis in 1918 after marrying his bride in 1895. Both Mr. Felsenthal and his wife were prominent social figures and philanthropists in the Memphis arts and religious community.
Jacob Felsenthal passed away in 1939 and Cecelia remained at the home with her family until her death in 1955 at 81 years of age. In 1956, the home was sold to Dr. James B. and June Witherington.

8 The current owners moved in in 1992 and have since added two gardens, a pool, meditation area and outdoor entertainment space. In the front yard you’ll discover a fountain surrounded by rose of Sharon, 50+ year old magnolias, aucuba, butterfly plants, lime green hydrangea, drift roses, encore azaleas and sunpatiens. The backyard pool creates a soothing atmosphere alongside statuary of St. Francis of Assisi, Lotus Blossom, female Buddha and Autumn. Take note, too, of the finished apartment above the garage. 543 SOUTH BELVEDERE BOULEVARD

Noreen’s deceased husband, William Neely Mallory, was the eldest son of Barton Lee and Frances Neely Mallory. The heroic William Mallory served in the U.S. Army Air Corps during WWII. Sadly, he died in a plane crash while heading for home after takeoff from Florence, Italy, in 1945.
The Inzers lived here until 1982 when they sold it to Robert and Suzan Fisher. After living there for 21 years, the Fishers sold the property to Merrilyn Rasch in 2003. She subsequently sold the property to Dr. Jacob and Christy Vargo in May 2007. After living there for eight years, the couple sold the property to the current owners, Kevin and Jamie Wilson.
Mrs. Neely lived here until her death in 1978. The property was then sold to Charles and Mary Ann Inzer. A celebrated Southern portrait artist, Charles Inzer has an impressive patron list that includes Gloria Vanderbilt, Eudora Welty and the actresses Gene Tierney and Dixie Carter.
uilt in 1912, the first owner of 619 South Belvedere was William P. Halliday, Jr. who resided here with his wife and son. William was vice president of Memphis Furniture Manufacturing Company and owned an investment firm located in the old Tennessee Trust Building. William was the son of the legendary William Parker Halliday (July 21, 1827–September 22, 1899), an American steamboat captain, banker, vast landowner and businessman. Halliday, Sr. began his professional career working on steamboats on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers and eventually became a captain of a steamboat based out of Louisville, Kentucky. A pioneer in the river and railroad transportation businesses, Halliday was responsible for the expansion of Cairo, Illinois, following the American Civil War. The property was sold in 1921 to T. Milton Cathey, president of Memphis Hardwood Flooring and of Memphis Bellgrade Lumber Company. Mr. Cathey lived here until his death in 1949 and willed the property to his wife and two children.
11 This Colonial Revival-style house was designed in Memphis by architect Charles Oscar Pfeil from 1911 to 1912. Pfeil also designed the Walter Lang House on Central, the William R. Moore Building, the Toof Building, the Dermon Building and the Madison Hotel, formerly the Tennessee Trust Building. Virginia and Lee McAlester’s A Field Guide to American Houses calls out this particular asymmetrical subtype as being found on about 10 percent of the remaining Colonial Revival houses. It was popular prior to 1900 but gradually fell out of favor because of the desire to have attached garages, which were difficult to incorporate within a balanced façade. This lovely example retains the hip-and-gable tiled roof, a hipped-roof–centered entry with a sun porch on the north elevation. 619 SOUTH BELVEDERE BOULEVARD

The massive cubicle block of the house is relieved by the asymmetrical placement of its front porch, porte cochère and side sun porch, now enclosed. The Craftsman style is evident in the simple lines of the robust porch piers, the horizontal emphasis of the front porch with its block spindle balustrade, the bands of multiple windows on the façade, and the deep, Prairie School–influenced overhang of the roof cornice with paired brackets on its soffit.
The design is made more complex through the sparing use of Colonial Revival elements, such as the Doric columns flanking the entrance, in the arch of the major window of the front façade to the south of the entrance, and in the divided transom and sidelights surrounding the entrance, outfitted with Adamesque patterns of beveled glass.
The interior of the Harvey house was designed with the same attention to detail, to ensure maintaining the balance between the two architectural styles.
Few houses built during this period were designed from top to bottom in one specific architectural style. This house is a good example of a mixture of elements from two major styles into a harmonious architectural composition.

uilt in 1910, the Benjamin B. Harvey house was one of the first homes completed on Belvedere Boulevard after it was open for development in 1906. Benjamin Harvey was a significant figure in Memphis commerce at the beginning of the 20th century, having founded the Harvey Cotton Company in 1896 and developing it into one of the largest cotton brokerage firms in the city in less than a decade. Benjamin was not a politician, but he was an active, behind-the-scenes promoter of the progressive Greater Memphis Movement in the late 1890s. This progressive movement led to the annexation of the area now known as Midtown and the development of the city’s park and parkway system among other major cities civic improvements

This dynamic harmony is clearly evidenced in the entrance foyer for the house, where a monumental Colonial Revival columnar screen is flanked on either side by simple, high-back oak settles in the Craftsman style. The pure, simple lines of the settles echo the influence of furniture by early Arts and Crafts designers in England such as William Morris and Philip Webb, as well as the numerous high-back chairs and benches designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Gustav Stickley. Beyond the columnar screen, the plan of the first floor reveals the growing preference at the turn of the 20th century for open spaces with large openings between the major rooms.

uilder Warren Ayres developed the vacant south garden of the adjacent house at 644 South Belvedere in 2001 with a house design by Charles Shipp. Sharing many similarities with the latter Colonial Revival houses of the neighborhood, the two-story Georgian portico of Palladian inspiration leads to a traditional floor plan with a center hall. Beyond that, a combination family room and kitchen becomes a more contemporary space. Built for the speculative market, the Ayres family fell in love with the house on completion and had no choice but to move in.
The landscape design at the Ayres home is the epitome of a traditional Southern garden, with plenty of flowering plants, places to tuck away in the shade, statuary and, of course, hydrangeas. The homeowners used hollies, magnolias, azaleas and hydrangeas primarily because of how well the plants work in this region, but also because of the family’s fondness for the hydrangea bush. Many of them are found on the property.
Neatly trimmed boxwoods welcome visitors as they traverse their way from the front garden to the private oasis tucked behind the stately custom-designed home. A “hydrangea walk” runs along the northern edge of the home, which in its shadows stays cool and beautiful, even during the hottest of days. The southeast bed along the driveway cradles a statue of a little boy and doubles as a cutting garden where perennials are planted and brought inside for arrangements. The boxwood abstract in the raised bed on the north wall adjacent to the garage was only recently planted and an assortment of varieties of boxwoods were used to lend whimsy to the design–some small, some with a naturally round or vertical shapes. There is also a trellis with climbing clematis providing cover for the frog-king statue found hiding underneath.

Finally, the centerpiece of the courtyard is the large water fountain, the sounds of which visitors can enjoy as they relax on the screened porch and smell the roses framing each side. Two espaliered magnolias and hostas provide interest for the pathway along the northwestern edge of the garden toward Belvedere.

Dr. Somerville died suddenly of a heart attack in 1925 while visiting St. Louis with one of his daughters. The death announcement from January 25, 1912, calls Somerville “one of the most famous neurologists of the United States for the past 15 years.” Minter sold the home to R. R. Ellis in 1929 and retired to her country home, Sevenhills, on the old CaplevilleWhitehaven road (now Shelby Drive).

One of Minter’s interests was in the continuing beautification of Memphis, her new hometown, and she was heavily involved in the Garden Club. This home was the site of a garden tour on April 30, 1921, the goal being to establish Memphis as the “City of Flowers.”
T
his stately mansion at 644 S. Belvedere has been the location for many celebrations, meetings and gatherings of members of Memphis’ high society throughout its storied history. The twostory Italian Renaissance style residence with stucco exterior was built in 1912 and was first owned by Alabama native Dr. William G. Somerville and his wife, Minter.
20
This mansion features a hipped tile roof with bracketed eaves, exposed rafter tails, and poured concrete exterior and interior central chimneys. The inset entry porch with Doric columns below includes a cantilevered open gable and pergola.
After graduating from the University of Alabama in 1885 and the University of Tennessee in 1909, Dr. Somerville served in France in World War I, where he was regarded as indispensable, according to The Commercial Appeal.
Dr. Somerville organized one of the first shell-shock hospitals during the war and began the study of what we would now recognize as PTSD. After his service, the Somervilles moved to Memphis where Dr. Somerville set up a lucrative practice and was the visiting neurologist for Memphis General Hospital, St. Joseph Hospital, Methodist Hospital and Baptist Hospital. It was during this time that Minter Somerville became extremely entrenched in Memphis society and dedicated much of her time volunteering for various causes.
Original pairs of eight-light wood doors with arched fanlight transoms open onto wrought iron balconettes. In the back garden, a gunite pool with limestone coping and handmade ceramic tiles is the centerpiece of a large, nearly two-acre bucolic setting. On the farthest east side of the property, a cutflower garden and grapes are planted in the original pool (filled in). According to neighborhood lore, it was said to be one of the first privately owned in-ground pools in Memphis. A large pond once sat in the middle of the back garden, and neighborhood children would scale the fence to take a dip in the pool or catch a fish from the well-stocked pond.
Current owners are returning the gardens to their original formal, Italian style. The addition of the rose, cut-flower and butterfly garden, including formal hedges being installed along the driveway and the circular hedge garden and trellis that abuts the property in the front garden to the south, are part of the new plan drawn by Gregory Pope, landscape architect. Plans from architect John Harrison Jones include a new screened-in room with fireplace on the south rear of the home, a logia across the back and a kitchen addition. Additionally, a porte cochère will be added to the driveway adjacent to the current kitchen door.

The lots to the north, now facing Vinton, and also those adjacent on the east and west, were once part of the farmhouse’ large yard space. In 1955, the lot on the back was separated into three sections, sold and developed. It was not until 1979 that the lot on the corner was sold to an architect who had ambitious plans for the space.
24
The land on this quiet corner in the heart of Central Gardens has been a space for decades where some dreams have been imagined and others achieved. This cozy corner at Harbert and Belvedere was previously the side garden of the farmhouse immediately to the west at 1646 Harbert. Built in 1901, the farmhouse was one of the earliest structures to arise on this section of Harbert and was first owned by J. W. Dickson, proprietor of J. W. Dickson Saw Mill & Lumber Yard (the business location was at Central near Cooper in the early 1900s).
There was one obstacle in the architect’s way, which was a 15-level treehouse that neighborhood children had been assembling for years, using an ancient oak tree at the rear of the lot as its primary foundation. The young builders staged a protest in hopes of saving their beloved fort, but after several hours the children relented and the structure was removed.
Architect John Carriere, a resident of Central Gardens, had dreams to build an underground home, which was an innovative way to create an energyefficient dwelling, while also saving on materials and supplies, somewhat like the smart homes of today. According to The Commercial Appeal (Sunday, Aug. 12, 1979), “the house will be covered on two sides by earth. The Harbert side will be open. The top will be covered by a garden and a translucent roof.” The story continues, “according to the architect, his earth home will operate at only 25 percent cost of normal energy use.”
25 For reasons unknown, John Carriere’s underground earth home never materialized. Instead, the lot was purchased by Dr. William O. Coley and his wife, Frances, and this warm and welcoming family home was designed and built by their son, William O. Coley III in 1981. The home is a one-anda-half story Colonial Revival residence with brick veneer. The design includes a side gable roof with asphalt shingles, brick interior end chimneys, dentilled cornice, and three gabled dormers with eight-light paired casement windows. It has an inset entry porch with paired leaded singlelight wood entry doors and original, paired 12-light casement windows with a heavy wood Currentcornice.owners purchased the residence in 2020 and have remodeled the interior with warm, rich colors, modern light fixtures and eclectic artwork.

t the corner of Carr and Rozelle sits a charming, two-story Craftsman-style airplane bungalow with gorgeous gardens both in the front lawn and out back. The home was built around 1919, and the first owners listed in 1920 were Cliff S. Blackburn and his wife, Charlie B. Blackburn. Cliff Blackburn was at one time in a partnership with Clarence Saunders, of Piggly Wiggly fame, as the two were co-owners of Saunders-Blackburn Grocery Company. The company dissolved in 1917when Cliff Blackburn decided to try his hand in the cotton trade. Over the years, Blackburn worked in a variety of categories and was considered a prominent businessman, serving as first vice president of the Business Men’s Club. He also was involved in the Rotary Club. The Blackburns lived in the home only for a short while, selling the property in 1924. Between 1924 and 1938, the home changed owners several times. In 1938, the home was purchased by Charles L. Wilkinson, his wife, Mary, and their son, William. The home would stay in the Wilkinson family for57 years.
Charles Wilkinson was a cotton broker from Somerville, Tennessee, who began buying cotton at 19. Sadly, the senior Wilkinson died of heart disease in October 1940, only a few years after he and his family had purchased the home. His wife, Mary Chunn, and son, William, remained in the home. Mary Chunn Wilkinson was an active volunteer, serving in a leadership capacity for many years with Les Passees. In 1941, William Wilkinson married Edith Bailey and the couple had three children. William began his career in sales at United Paint Company, retiring as secretary-treasurer of that company and president of United Paint Store, Inc. Edith was a well-known mural artist and philanthropist, a member of Brooks Art League, the Women’s Exchange and the Midtown Garden Club. The family was active at Grace-St. Luke’s Episcopal Church and the University Club of Memphis. The home was bequeathed to the children after Edith (1977) and William (1982) passed away and remained owned by family members until 1995.

The current homeowners, an architect and an interior designer, bought the property in 1999 and have completed various interior renovations over the years, including major kitchen and bathroom renovations. Most recently, a comprehensive landscape/ hardscape project was completed. The design was years in the making as the site presented several challenges, such as the tight corner lot, the steep embankment, multiple level changes, limited space between the existing structures and proximity to power lines. But the hard work paid off, resulting in a private garden with a resort feel that is flexible for entertaining.
