	Louis H. Asbury &amp; Son, from 1952 until 1959, designed Modernist style homes

	<p align="justify"><font face="Arial">The Solomon and Shirley Levine House 
	was completed in 1957 as the home of Solomon Levine (1921 -&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
	), an attorney, and his wife, Shirley.&nbsp; Solomon Levine, a native of New 
	York City and graduate of the University of Illinois and Duke University Law 
	School, moved to Charlotte in 1948.&nbsp; Shirley Levine was the driving 
	force in convincing her husband to move to the Cloisters neighborhood from 
	elsewhere in Charlotte.&nbsp; She was also primarily responsible for 
	selecting the Modernist style for the house that the Levines erected on 
	Cloister Drive.<font size="1">1</font>&nbsp;</font></p>
	<p align="justify"><font face="Arial">The Cloisters of Charlotte Inc., a 
	real estate development firm, was established on September 15, 1952.&nbsp; 
	It 
	acquired a parcel of land to the immediate west of Providence Road on the 
	southeastern edge of Charlotte on December 31, 1952, and announced shortly 
	thereafter plans to 
	fashion a sophisticated suburban residential neighborhood on the tract.<font size="1">2</font>&nbsp;&nbsp; 
	The<i> Charlotte Observer</i> reported on January 29, 1953, that grading of 
	the land was already underway.<font size="1">3</font>&nbsp; The developers 
	of the Cloisters were responding to systemic changes in the residential 
	market.&nbsp; There was an unprecedented need for housing of all types in 
	the years immediately following World War II, as hundreds of thousands of 
	veterans returned to civilian life.&nbsp; In Charlotte the number of 
	building permits increased from 194 in 1945 to 3046 in 1950.<font size="1">4&nbsp; </font>The number of car registrations in the United States 
	increased from 26 million in 1945 to 72 million in 1965, thereby greatly 
	reducing the need for public transportation, especially for the affluent and 
	the middle class.<font size="1">5</font> Increasingly, those homeowners who could 
	chose to reside on the outskirts of cities.&nbsp;</font></p>
	<p align="justify"><font face="Arial">The Cloisters is one of Charlotte's 
	best preserved examples of upscale suburban landscape planning executed in the 
	mid-twentieth century, the other being Carmel Park.<font size="1">6</font>&nbsp;From 
	the outset the Cloisters was configured to be a secluded glen visited 
	only by automobiles. The Cloisters of Charlotte, Inc. took its inspiration 
	from the philosophy of&nbsp; designers such as Frank Lloyd Wright, John 
	Nolen, Earle Sumner Draper, and the Olmsted Brothers, who taught that 
	suburban street patterns should respect the contours of the land.&nbsp; &quot;The use of 
	curving streets produced subdivisions in which homes could be sited to 
	attain maximum privacy or prominence, and have pleasant vistas of natural or 
	naturalistic woods, sweeping lawns, or water features,&quot; write Sherry 
    Joines Wyatt and 
	Sarah Woodard in their post World War II survey report for the 
	Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission.<font size="1">7</font>&nbsp; The entranceway&nbsp; to 
	the neighborhood from Providence Road meanders down a hillside to a small, 
	man-made 
	pond which forms the centerpiece of the development.&nbsp; Situated around the 
	pond but facing Cloister Drive and adjoining curvilinear streets are single 
	family homes on large, well-manicured lots. There are no sidewalks. </font></p>

	<p align="justify"><font face="Arial">The developers of the Cloisters were 
	seeking to create what historian Robert Stern calls an &quot;idealized 
	alternative to conventional city living.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; The perception was 
	widespread, writes Stern, &quot;that the spread of the industrialized city was a 
	threat to health and traditional morality.&quot;<font size="1">8</font>&nbsp; On 
	July 31, 1953, comprehensive deed restrictions were instituted to protect 
	the sylvan appearance of the neighborhood.&nbsp; They regulated house size, 
	height, and setback, stipulated that no more than one house could be erected&nbsp; 
	per lot, and prohibited multi-family dwellings.<font size="1">9</font>&nbsp; By such devices the 
	developers hoped to foster &quot;the ultimate goal of the subdivision, which was 
	to live in a peaceful country setting, with as few urban references as 
	possible,&quot; assert Wyatt and Woodard.<font size="1">10</font></font></p>
	<p align="justify"><font face="Arial">The domiciles in the Cloisters fall 
	most readily into two main categories.&nbsp; The majority are traditional in 
	design, 
	principally Colonial Revival style ranch houses.&nbsp; There is a smattering of 
	contemporary style houses, the Solomon and Shirley Levine House being among 
	them. The house is a striking example of mid-twentieth century Modernism and 
	illustrates how architects who were principally known for revivalist 
	buildings were able to accommodate themselves to changing, more diverse tastes 
	in the housing market.</font></p>
	<p align="justify"><font face="Arial">The 
	architectural firm of record that designed the Solomon and Shirley Levine 
	House was Louis H. Asbury &amp; Son.<font size="1">11</font>&nbsp; Louis Asbury (1877-1975) received his professional training in architecture 
	at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology after graduating from Trinity 
	College (now Duke University) in 1900.&nbsp; Before establishing his 
	Charlotte practice in 1908, Asbury was associated with the nationally known 
	firm of Cram, Goodhue, and Ferguson, in either its New York City or Boston 
	office.&nbsp; Asbury, who was&nbsp; joined by his son, Louis H. Asbury, Jr. 
	(1912-1991), shortly after his son's graduation from North Carolina State 
	College in 
	1939, had an extensive local and regional practice until his retirement in 
	1956.<font size="1">12</font>&nbsp; </font></p>

	<p align="justify"><font face="Arial">Louis H. Asbury and his son were both

	such notable local structures as the Classical Revival style Mecklenburg 
	County Courthouse and the Gothic Revival style Myers Park Methodist Church.<font size="1">13</font>&nbsp; &nbsp; 
	Louis H. Asbury, Jr.'s preference for traditional architecture is illustrated by

	and the design philosophy of the Bauhaus.&nbsp; Especially influential in 
	this regard was Harvard-trained architect Paul M. Heffernan, who joined the 
	Georgia Tech faculty in 1938.<font size="1">18</font>&nbsp; One can 
	reasonably assume that Boyte imbibed the design philosophy that Heffernan 
	emphasized. According to Solomon Levine, Boyte's initial design for the 
	Solomon and Shirley Levine House proposed 
	constructing the house around an existing tree&nbsp; The Levines vetoed the

	This writer worked closely with Boyte for more than twenty years and&nbsp; 
	only briefly heard him mention his past ventures into contemporary design. 
	During a tour of the Nieman House in the mid-1990s Boyte was asked why he 
	had fashioned such a contemporary style house.&nbsp; He answered:&nbsp; &quot;I 
	had to make a living.&quot;<font size="1">21&nbsp; </font>The reasons for 
	Boyte's abandonment of Modernism is a matter of conjecture.&nbsp; This
