2108 Duncan – Daniel L. and Eliza George House – c. 1946
Contributing Building
This one-story, side-gabled, Minimal Traditional-style house is four bays wide and double-pile with aluminum siding, eight-over-eight wood-sash windows, and an interior brick chimney. The left three bays project slightly under a front-gabled roof and feature a three-light-over-four-panel door flanked by six-over-six wood-sash windows and accessed by an uncovered concrete terrace with brick planters on each side. A near-full-width, shed-roofed wing on the rear elevation has vinyl siding. County tax records date the house to 1946 and the earliest known occupants are Daniel L. George, owner of George Painting and Plastering, and his wife, Eliza George, in 1947. They were the parents of three daughters.
Mrs. George was the accountant for her husband's business until he passed. She went back to school and became a nurse at Duke University Medical Center. One of their daughters was a two term Durham County Commissioner.
